EFCC Press Release: EFCC Arraigns Polish Woman Over N9m Fraud

Dora Gilmaska
By Wilson Uwujaren- Ag. Head, Media & Publicity

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Monday, October 08, 2012 arraigned Dora Gilmaska, a Polish woman, before an Abuja High Court presided by Justice Abubakar Umar, on a one count charge of fraud. Gilmaska, Executive Officer of Icon Media and Marketing Agency Limited, is being prosecuted for issuing dud cheque of N9million to one Tayo Olugbemi.

When arraigned, the accused pleaded not guilty to the offence, prompting her counsel, Mr. Chris Okoye, to file an application urging the court to admit his client to bail, pending the determination of the case.

But prosecution counsel, Mr. Samuel Ugwuegbulam, opposed the application for bail on the grounds that the accused had earlier jumped administrative bail.
In his ruling, Justice Umar, granted the accused bail in the sum of five million naira only (N5, 000,000.) and two sureties in like sum. He also said that one of the sureties must be a civil servant resident in the FCT. The accused is also to deposit her international passport with the court registrar.

While adjourning the case to Thursday, November 15, 2012, for commencement of trial, the judge ordered that the accused be remanded in EFCC custody, pending when she is able to meet the bail conditions.

Thief from Poland - Dora (Doria) Gimalska

She robbed me in Poland and goes to Austria.
Yes- real name is DORA (DORIA) GIMALSKA!

Thief from Poland - Dora (Doria) Gimalska

She robbed in Poland and she goes to Austria...

Dora Gimalska is a fraud expert

Here in Austria she was long time in prison because of fraud. Now she is in prison in Nigeria because of fraud. EFCC made a good job.

By the way her name is not Dora Gilmaska, but Dora Gimalska or Doria Gimalska.

What Bargaining with PDP Chairman's son??????

This body so called EFCC is a temple of corruption. They are people hand-picked by the corrupt politicians and they are masquerading about pretending to be busy. In the actual fact the politicians use them to fight their political opponents who have less opportunity to wine and dine with them. Hypocrisy at the highest level, how would they and the government that they serve justify holding this poor woman when they are now bargaining with PDP chairman's son who stole a shocking amount valued over N1.billion Naira?
Rotten country.

I weep for Nigeria!!

I weep for Nigeria! how can you call for the disbandment of the only organisation that is strategically fighting corruption!!

Instead of critising the EFCC we need to empower and support the EFCC so that they can not only go after the small dogs but the big dogs too!

I Weep for Naija! EFCC is our only hope

Why are my fellow Nigerians so Ignorant?????

I am a Nigerian resident in Poland. Please come to Poland as a Nigerian and intentionally issue a dud cheque of just 1000 euros (200,000 naira)only to someone. you will witness the most humiliating arrest in your life. your passport will be immdediately seized, you will spend 10 solid years in Jail and afterwards deportation without any hope of being able to travel to any EU country in your entire life. so why does anyone think only being asked to pay such small amount as 25,000 euros for bail is too harsh???? we cannot dare do such here so they should not do that in Nigeria neither. Nigerians have truly lost their self respect. I WEEP FOR MY COUNTRYMEN!!

What has happen to Nigerians sense of morality?

Are you all trying to justify that she has not committed any crime?whatever has happen to our collective sense of morality? All these people you mention have committed a crime,but that does not mean this woman in question have done no wrong.

EFCC

It seems the operatives of EFCC are more of Comedians than financial crime fighters. They keep amusing Nigerians every day. I think the commission should be disbanded.

Outrageous

Outrageous bail condition

EFCC-FORGET THEM-UNSERIOUS DECEITFUL AGENCY

Efcc,forget them,its not a truthful agency,if u take a case to them,you are wasting your time , dullards,unless you bribe them,they will turn the case against innocent souls.d Almighty will punish all of them.yeye corrupt agency

Efcc and the Nigerian court agreement to cheat.

How can poor lady pay the sum of 5,000,000 baha dis huge amount of money is too much now.

EFCC JOKERS!

This is a joke?! Why can't you guys get serious? All the Presidents, state governors both past and present are all owners of private jets and mansions in most world capitals, you guys are pretending to be blind, deaf and dumb. I didn't know Lamorde is a woman!

EFCC are ineffective

They certainly are not convincing with the responsibility heaped on them. Okay she gave a bounced cheque or whatever, but what about all those politicians and oil thieves who are still out there carrying out more corruption practices? They cannot tell me or Nigerians that this woman is more a criminal than so many Nigerians that this cosmetic body has arrested and let go without charges. Poor woman.

Fg should disband efcc

Billionaire thieves like jimoh ibrahim are enjoying their loot and efcc is trying this poor woman. Efcc should fight people who has the resources to fight back, like in the days of ribadu. Efcc should stop this nonsense trial or be disbanded for having lost focus.

Hope she does not die like

Hope she does not die like the Italian who was alleged by EFcc to have committed suicide in their cell recently! Again the story does not make sense-we say go for government officials governors-and senators-members of the House like Farouk-and Boniface. Not this fake lies about Oyibo women--she could have been set by Nigerians-aware our people are very wicked-how could she have issued a dud cheque without the knowledge of an insider in the company? Who brought her into the country-is she married to a Nigerian? Is the guy who wrote the story a professional? Pls find somewhere else to publish all these half baked stories-its stinks with bias-how much is 9 million in dollars-when compare to the thieves roaming the streets of the nation as free men and women?

Your action just exposed your behind Lamorde!!!

This "Wilson Uwujaren" and Lamorde are high on cocaine! Really. They seem to believe we will be hooked on this nonsensical media circus show they are putting on. This is really sad. Do you people have any decency at all? You people Uwujaren and Lamorde got big problem. I think both of you need to see a psychiatrist if you think we truly applaud you for this nonsense. You are only making mockery of yourselves. Really! This is why this country will never change. People like these two idiots thinking we are fools they can play around like a ball. The joke is you both. Pathetic idiots!

What's The Difference Between Lamido And Mrs Farida Waziri?

What about Farou Lawan and Otedola? What about tha Harlliburton crimnals? Mumism!!!

5million for what? why

5million for what? why Nigeria is full of heartless people.
