Major General Umar M. Mohammed, the former Managing Director of Nigerian Army Properties, has been convicted for his involvement in forgery and theft of millions of U.S. Dollars belonging to the Nigerian Army. The trial took place at the Army court martial held at the Command Officers Mess 1, Asokoro, Abuja. Mohammed faced an 18-count charge, and the court found him guilty of stealing, forgery, conspiracy, misappropriation of funds, and other charges. He was found guilty of stealing $430,800 from the Nigerian Army Domiciliary account at Unity Bank, Abuja, as well as embezzling N74 million paid for a property in Ikoyi, Lagos. However, he was found not guilty on allegations of selling Army property worth N200 million and misusing N750 million out of N2.5 billion secured from banks for a housing estate. Sentencing is scheduled for next week Tuesday, and during the trial, it was determined that Mohammed was fit to stand trial. Additionally, he was not convicted of forging a Deed of Agreement.
