Two Catholic priests have been apprehended
by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) after they allegedly attempted to swindle
people out of their money through a supposed
cement deal.
According to a Punch report, Reverend Fathers Silas
Nweke and E.C Obiorah, residing in Anambra, have
been arraigned on 35 counts bordering on obtaining
by false pretences.
The two men are alleged to have used the name of
Holy Family Group of Companies to gain large sums
of money through a cement deal some years ago.
Counsel for the first accused, Nwekem, urged the
jurisdiction of the court to hear the matter, revealing
that the case had been heard at the Court of Appeal
and the Supreme Court at different times.
The counsel for the second accused, Obiorah,
disclosed that a judgement had been made at a state
High Court regarding the matter.
