The Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has on Wednesday, February 22, 2017 arraigned one Bala Tangalu, a native doctor.

Vanguard reports that Tangalu was arraigned before Justice A. B. Mohammed of the Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Jabi, Abuja, on a 2-count charge of conspiracy and obtaining by false pretense to the tune of N2.5m.

The native doctor was arrested after one Dozie Ugonna alleged that he was scammed of over N2.5m by him and his cohorts. According to the Ugonna, the money was meant for the purchase of materials to neutralize some harmful charms purportedly contained in a carton filled with U.S dollars.

Tangalu was said to have pleaded not guilty to the charge and he was granted bail in the sum of N2m with two sureties in like sum.
