Here is a summary of the article:

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned a company, Ngozi Okoye Ventures Limited, and its directors before a Federal High Court in Lagos over alleged fraud of N349 million.

The company and its directors, Ngozi Okoye and Chukwuma Okoye, were arraigned on a 10-count charge of conspiracy, stealing, and obtaining by false pretence.

The EFCC alleged that the defendants, between 2015 and 2017, conspired to steal and obtain N349 million from the Federal Government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The commission claimed that the defendants, who were contractors, fraudulently obtained the funds by presenting fake documents and certificates, including a letter of award and a certificate of completion, to the ministry.

The EFCC also alleged that the defendants used the stolen funds to purchase properties and invest in other businesses.

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The trial judge, Justice Chuka Obiozor, adjourned the case to October 26 for further hearing.

The EFCC is seeking to recover the stolen funds and impose a fine on the defendants.
