An
impostor parading himself as Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to President
Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, has been arraigned in court by
the anti-graft body, EFCC.
Christian Efe Oyovweyho
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission yesterday docked one
Christian Efe Oyovweyho alias Femi Adesina before Justice Z.B Abubakar
of the Federal High Court Kano on a two count charge of Obtaining by
False Pretence.
The defendant allegedly impersonated the Special Adviser on Media
and Publicity to President Muhammad Buhari, Femi Adesina and attempted
to obtain N300,000 from a professor of Economics at Bayero University
Kano, Dalhatu Mohammed Galadanci.
According to the complainant, sometime in July 2016, the defendant
sent him a text message claiming to be Femi Adesina, S.A to the
president on Media and Publicity.
The defendant fraudulently claimed to be speaking on behalf of the
president and that the name of the professor has been forwarded for
appointment in the presidency.
The complainant further stated that the defendant claimed to be
searching for a better office for him. Subsequently, the defendant asked
the professor to make payment of the sum of N300,000 (Three Hundred
Thousand Naira Only) to facilitate his appointment to Nigeria Port
Authority or Nigerian Railway Cooperation and Rural Electrification.
At that point, the professor got suspicious and reported the matter to the commission.
One of the counts read that, “You Christian Efe Oyovweyho alias
Femi Adesina and another (now at large) on or about 16th day of July,
2016 at Kano, within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court Kano
with intent to defraud attempted to obtain the sum of N300,000 (Three
Hundred Thousand Naira Only) from Professor Dalhatu Mohammed Galadanci
through your Zenith Bank Account with Account number: 2173729401, under
the false pretence that the money was meant for a juicy appointment in
Abuja , which pretence you knew to be false and thereby committed an
offense contrary to section 8 (b) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other
Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under section 1 (3) of
the same Act."
After listening to the charge, the defendant pleaded not
guilty. Prosecution counsel Musa Isah requested a date for trial in view
of the plea of defendant.
Counsel representing the defendant, T.M Oyedema however brought a
motion for bail, praying the court to admit his client to bail pending
the hearing and determination of the case.
Justice Zainab granted the defendant bail in the sum of N500,000
and two sureties in like sum. One of the sureties must be a State or
Federal government official not below grade level 8.
The other surety must be a respected member of the society with a
landed property within the jurisdiction. Also certificate of Occupancy
in respect of the landed property shall be deposited with the Deputy
Chief Registrar of the court.
The case has been adjourned till 11 April, 2017 for commencement of
trial, while the defendant remains in prison custody pending the
perfection of his bail conditions.
