EFCC, on Friday, May 31, 2019, arraigned the controversial official of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Philomina Chieshe, who claimed that the missing N36 million, JAMB proceeds in her custody, was swallowed by a snake in Makurdi, Benue State, JAMB office.
Chieshe was arraigned alongside five others, namely: Samuel Umoru, Yakubu Jekada, Daniel Agbo, Priscilla Ogunsola, and Aliyu Yakubu, before Justice Peter Afen of a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Abuja.
Chieshe became notorious in February 2018, after she told account auditors the snake sneaked into the office and ate N36 million cash generated from sales of e-JAMB cards.
The controversial JAMB official is being prosecuted on an eight-count charge, following her refusal to furnish the management of JAMB the true information on the financial status of JAMB e-cards supplied to the Benue Zonal office between 2014 and 2016.
