Abdulmajid appeared before Justice Musa Karaye on a one-count charge of criminal misappropriation involving money allegedly belonging to Fahad Adaji.
According to the charge sheet, the alleged offence occurred in Kano between September and October 2024.
The prosecution told the court that the N34.875 million was transferred to a First Bank account belonging to Muazu Abdullahi following Abdulmajid’s instructions.
The money was allegedly intended to facilitate the purchase of IRS Spaghetti from BUA.
The EFCC accused Abdulmajid of dishonestly misappropriating the funds instead of using them for the intended transaction.
The commission said the alleged offence contravened Sections 308 and 309 of the Kano State Penal Code Law.
When the charge was read to him, Abdulmajid pleaded not guilty.
Following his plea, prosecution counsel, Mustapha Maiwada, asked the court to fix a date for trial and order the defendant’s remand in a custodial facility.
Justice Karaye granted the request and ordered that Abdulmajid be held in a correctional facility pending further proceedings.
The court adjourned the case until November 2, 2026, for the commencement of the hearing.

Police dismiss officers Anthony Obodo case has been confirmed as the Rivers State Police Command dismissed three of its officers linked to the killing of a 22-year-old University of Port Harcourt graduate, Anthony Obodo.
The State Commissioner of Police, Olugbenga Adepoju, disclosed this on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, while parading the three officers before journalists in Port Harcourt.
According to the command, the officers were linked to the incident that occurred last Thursday along Ada George in Port Harcourt, where Obodo was shot dead.
A member of the team, an inspector who fled after the shooting, has been declared a deserter.
CP Adepoju stated that the three arrested officers were subjected to an orderly room trial. Following the conclusion of the investigation and the establishment of their culpability, they have been dismissed from the Nigeria Police Force and will be charged to court.
“I am here to provide updates on some serious incidents recently recorded in the state, including the investigation into the death of one Anthony A. Obodo… Following the conclusion of the investigation and the establishment of the culpability of the officers involved… the officers being paraded today have been dismissed from the Nigeria Police Force and will be charged to court,” Adepoju said.
The commissioner noted that he understood the concerns of Obodo’s family and members of the public, adding that the Command has taken appropriate disciplinary action against the police personnel involved.
Obodo, a graduate of the University of Port Harcourt who was reportedly awaiting his NYSC call-up letter, was shot during a police pursuit.
