MAIDUGURI — The Borno State High Court sitting in Maiduguri has convicted and sentenced Ijai Jampi to one year imprisonment for criminal misappropriation involving N6,660,000.00. Presiding Justice Mohammad Maina delivered the verdict on Monday, November 9, 2026, following a thorough prosecution by the Maiduguri Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Jampi was originally arraigned on August 11, 2025, after fraudulently collecting the funds from one Eneh Chinedu under the pretext of supplying borehole plumbing materials. Instead of executing the order, Jampi diverted the capital to fulfill a separate contract with an NGO, Gold Prime Organisation, violating Section 296 of the Borno State Penal Code Law (No.3 Vol. 48 Law 2023).
Despite an initial “not guilty” plea, EFCC counsel A.D. Abdulmalik presented six witnesses and robust documentary evidence. Justice Maina sentenced Jampi to one year imprisonment with an option of a N200,000 fine, alongside a mandatory full restitution order of N6,660,000.00 to the petitioner, with an additional one-year jail term defaulted upon non-payment.
