A suspected female fraudster, Maimuna Mudi was today arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission  before Justice R.A Sadiq of Kano State High Court, Kano  on one count charge that borders on obtaining money by false pretence.

He consequently demanded for a refund of his money which remained unpaid.
 
The charge reads: “That you Maimuna Mudi on or about the 1st day of April, 2010 in Kano within the judicial Division of the High Court of Kano dishonestly made Muhammed Hammound to part with the sum of N1,590,500 ( One Million Five Hundred and Ninety Thousand, Five Hundred Naira) by deceiving him into believing that you had been given a contract for the supply of 3000 motorcycles to the Nigeria Police Force, Kebbi State Command which you knew to false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 320 and punishable under Section 322 of the Penal  Code”.
