Court Remands Civil Defense Officer For 125 Days

A Federal Capital Territory High Court, sitting in Apo, Abuja, has ordered the remand of an officer of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Jibrin Buba, till 28 of October 2025. Mr Buba was remanded at the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Kuje after failing to appear for trial in the forgery allegations leveled against him by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Mr. Buba is standing trial for alleged offences bordering on forgery and making a false statement to a public officer.
According to the ICPC, Buba, in February 2015, fraudulently presented a forged Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree certificate in Public Administration, dated October 7, 2009, which was purportedly issued by the University of Jos, to secure employment with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).
This was revealed in a statement posted by ICPC on the Commission’s website on Monday.

The ICPC stated that the use of a forged document as genuine contravenes Section 366 of the Penal Code and is punishable under Section 364.
The accused was initially arraigned in 2022 before Hon. Justice Asma’u Akanbi at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Kubwa and was admitted to bail on liberal terms.
However, following Justice Akanbi’s elevation to the Court of Appeal, the case was reassigned for trial de novo to Justice Binta Dogonyaro of FCT High Court 46, Apo.
The court had previously fixed 22nd January 2025 for arraignment, but Buba reportedly failed to appear despite receiving due notice along with his legal counsel.
His continued absence, even after the matter was further adjourned, prompted the issuance of a bench warrant for his arrest.
He was eventually apprehended and arraigned on 26th June 2025.

During the proceeding, the court revoked Mr. Buba’s earlier bail and ordered that he be remanded at the Nigeria Correctional Service facility in Kuje.

The matter has been adjourned to 27th and 28th October 2025 for hearing.
