A registrar litigation in Adamawa State High
Court and former Nigerian Bar Association chairman were arraigned on
conspiracy and criminal diversion of funds charges in Federal High Court
in Yola, Adamawa State.
Shehu Mustapha and Binanu Esthon, the registrar of the court and
ex-NBA chairman, respectively, were detained following a complaint
alleging criminal conspiracy between them. Both of them are accused
of conspiracy
and criminal diversion of N60million funds they used for personal purposes.
A group of 501 employees were disengaged from Stirling Civil Engineering Company Limited, but had their entitlements withheld. With the help of Mr. Esthon, the disgruntled workers instituted legal proceedings against the company at the Adamawa State High Court in Yola and had the judgment entered in their favour.
But Mr. Esthon in connivance with Mr. Mustapha allegedly diverted part of the funds meant for the settlement of their entitlements. Justice Aliyu admitted the accused persons to bail in the sum of N5million and a surety each in like sum. The case was adjourned to March 14, 15, 16 and 17 for hearing
