The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arraigned Aminu Datti Ahmed, chief executive officer of Blackrock Apartments & Suites Limited, before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Jabi, Abuja, over an alleged N15 million fraud involving funds said to have been mistakenly credited to his bank account.
The anti-graft agency disclosed this in a statement on its official X account on Thursday, saying Ahmed was arraigned by the Abuja Zonal Directorate of the EFCC before Muhammad Idris on a one-count charge bordering on the alleged dishonest conversion of funds.
According to the commission, the case arose from the alleged diversion of N15 million that was mistakenly transferred into Ahmed’s Taj Bank account instead of the account of Braverock Investment Limited, the company expected to receive the payment as part of a scheduled property acquisition transaction.
The EFCC alleged that rather than return the money after discovering the error, Ahmed converted the funds to personal use.
The charge read: “That you, Aminu Datti Ahmed and Blackrock Apartments & Suites Limited, sometime in 2025 at Abuja within the jurisdiction of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, dishonestly converted to your personal use the sum of N15,000,000.00, which was mistakenly credited to the Taj Bank account with account No. 0000251807 belonging to Aminu Datti Ahmed.”
