The EFCC has taken Halifa Abdulmajid to the Kano State High Court.

He is accused of receiving N34.875 million for a spaghetti supply deal and failing to deliver the goods.

He appeared before Justice Musa Karaye on a one count charge of criminal misappropriation.

The money allegedly belonged to Fahad Adaji.

Prosecutors say it was transferred to a First Bank account held by Muazu Abdullahi on Abdulmajid's instructions, to buy IRS Spaghetti from BUA.

The offence is said to have happened in Kano between September and October 2024.

Abdulmajid pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutor Mustapha Maiwada asked for a trial date and for the defendant to be remanded.

The judge granted both requests and ordered him held in a correctional facility.

The case has been adjourned to November 2 for the start of the hearing.
