The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken Halifa Abdulmajid, a Kano businessman, before the Kano State High Court over allegations of a spaghetti supply deal worth N34.875 million. According to the Daily Post Nigeria, Abdulmajid faces a one-count charge of criminal misappropriation involving the money allegedly belonging to Fahad, the spaghetti supplier. The details of the case were not disclosed, but the defendant appeared before Justice Musa Karaye on October 16, 2026. The EFCC’s action comes as part of its efforts to clamp down on fraudulent activities in the food industry in Nigeria.

This case is currently being handled by the EFCC, and the suspects are scheduled to appear in court on October 20, 2026.
