EFCC Charges Bilal Muhammad with N600,000 Fraud
On Monday, the Maiduguri Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Bilal Muhammad before Justice B.T Zanna of the Borno State High Court. Muhammad, the CEO of GDF Homes Sale Enterprises Limited, faces a two-count charge of criminal misappropriation and obtaining money by false pretence amounting to N600,000.
The charges stem from an incident in 2025, where he allegedly obtained the sum under the guise of selling a Keke Napep (tricycle) but failed to deliver either the tricycle or the money to the petitioner. EFCC Head of Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale, confirmed the details in a press statement.
During the arraignment, Muhammad pleaded not guilty, and prosecution counsel A.D Abdulmalik requested a trial date while urging the court to remand him in EFCC custody. Justice Zanna adjourned the case until September 22, 2026, for the commencement of hearing.
