EFCC arraigns 2 Lebanese over ₦1.7m dud cheque

Imad Harb and Toni Harb, were, today, arraigned along with their company: Transparent Construction Nig. Ltd. before Justice E. N. Oluedo of the State High Court Enugu, for allegedly conspiring and obtaining the sum of N1.7m from one Desmond Ogadinma and subsequently issuing a postdated cheque that was returned unpaid.

While taking their plea, the accused persons pleaded not guilty on all counts of the three count charge preferred against them by the EFCC. The Judge, subsequently, ordered that the accused persons be remanded in EFCC custody.

Desmond Ogadinma owner of Rasing Cypon Global Services Limited petitioned the EFCC, alleging that Imad and Toni colluded between themselves to deny him payment for the supply of (800) bags of cement which he supplied to them within April this year.

According to him, the suspects issued him a post dated cheque which he presented on the due date, but it returned unpaid due to insufficient fund in the account.
