The anti-graft commission said Bintu, a deputy commandant, and her company are standing trial before the Federal Capital Territory High Court for using her company to hoodwink unsuspecting members of the public into subscribing for allocation in a proposed housing estate while passing off the said estate project as a collaboration with her employer.
It said in the course of the trial, Bintu jumped bail, and noted that available information indicated that she is out of the country.
