The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] on Wednesday arraigned four suspected fraudsters before the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos.
The suspects – Richard Ironbar Edemdem, Samuel Okpapi, Nelson Ojovbo, Bamigbade Olushola and a company, ISD Technology Limited – were arraigned before Justice Muhammad Liman on a three-count bordering on felony and stealing to the tune of N36.84m.

The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against them by the EFCC.
