EFCC arraigns six for diverting full truck load of rice worth N5.5m: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arraigned one

operatives in Bauchi and Jos following a petition by one Alhaji Umaru
Sabo of Pantami quarters, Gombe.
The petitioner alleged that on 28 September, 2015 one of the suspects,
Nura Garba who pretended to be a truck driver convinced him and he
entrusted and gave him a full truck load of 600 bags of rice worth
