Katsina Ex-Permanent Secretary Jailed For Fraud

A former Permanent Secretary in Katsina State, Sule Saulawa, was on Friday sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment without the option of fine by the state’s high court for advance fee fraud.

Justice Sanusi Tukur of the High Court slammed the sentence on Saulawa after finding him guilty of advance fee fraud charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The judge said the sentence was the minimum allowed under the section which Saulawa’s offence falls.

The former Permanent Secretary was said to have falsely obtained N2.5m from one Alhaji Musa Baba, now late, in 2015 assuring him of a fertiliser contract from the state government.#Africa ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
