bordering on possession of fraudulent documents and obtaining money by
false pretence to the tune of N700, 000 (Seven Hundred Thousand Naira).

The 31-year-old suspected fraudster, however, pleaded not guilty
when the charges were read to him. In view of his plea, the prosecution
counsel, Ayanfeoluwa Ogunsina, asked the court for a trial date and
pleaded that the accused be remanded in prison custody.
However, the defence counsel, M.O. Lawal, told the court of a pending application for bail of his client.
Justice Oshodi adjourned the matter to July 13, 2017 for hearing of
the bail application and ordered the accused to be remanded in prison
custody.
Meanwhile, the EFCC also arraigned a member of a syndicate of
Internet fraudsters, Ojo Adedayo, a.k.a. Kate, before Justice Oshodi on a

sometime in 2016 in Lagos within the Ikeja judicial division, with
intent to defraud, had in your possession a document titled "Me", which
document you knew contained false pretence."
However, the 22-year-old suspect pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him.
Justice Oshodi adjourned the matter to July 13, 2017 for hearing of
the bail application and remanded the suspect in prison custody.
