The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] has arraigned a former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Usman O. Jibrin and two others.
They are Rear Admiral Bala Mshelia (rtd) and Rear Admiral Shehu Ahmadu (rtd).
They are arraigned before Justice A. S Umar of the FCT High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja on a 4-count charge bordering on criminal conspiracy.
They were docked alongside Habour Bay International Limited.
The naval chiefs whilst in office allegedly bought a house worth N600million from the account of Naval Engineering Services without the said purchase contract being captured in the budget.
It was also alleged that, the documentation for transfer of ownership of the property was done such that a private company owned by the family of the first defendant (Vice Admiral Jubrin) became the buyer.
The case is ongoing…
