The Court of Appeal, Gombe Division, has affirmed the conviction of a former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism and Chairman of Shangon Local Government Area, Samuel Bulus Adamu.This was disclosed in a statement by Head, Media, and Publicity, EFCC, Wilson Uwajaren on Tuesday.

Adamu was convicted for awarding a contract to a non-existing company, inflation of contract, and payment of contractor above his threshold.
"But dissatisfied with the ruling of the court, Adamu approached the Court of Appeal, to set aside the judgment of the trial court. "However, the Appellate Court resolved the appeal in favour of the EFCC, affirming the judgment of the lower court, including the consequential order on the refund of N31, 640,000.00 .
