The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday arraigned a controversial official of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Philomina Chieshe and five others before Justice Peter Afen of a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Abuja.

Chieshe was arraigned following her alleged involvement in the N35 million fraud.

Apart from Philomena, the other five officials of JAMB in the matter are Samuel Umoru, Yakubu Jekada, Daniel Agbo, Priscilla Ogunsola, and Aliyu Yakubu.

Philomena, who is a JAMB official in Benue State, became popular when she made an outlandish claim that a mysterious snake swallowed about N35million cash arising from the sale of e-JAMB cards in the state.
