The Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Thursday arraigned one Toyin Shokunbi
before Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the Federal Capital Territory High Court,
Gudu, Abuja on an eight count charge bordering on intent to defraud and
obtaining money by false pretence.
The accused person allegedly
collected a total sum of N42.9million (Forty-Two point Nine Million Naira) from
Mr Gilbert Otaigbe between October 2010 and March 2011, under the pretext he
was going to help him purchase a government house.
Count seven of the charge reads:
"That you Toyin Shokunbi , sometimes between October 2010 and March 2011
in Abuja within the Judicial Division of the High Court of the Federal Capital
Territory with intent to defraud obtained the sum of N20,500,000.00 (Twenty
Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira) only from one Mr Gilbert Otaigbe under
the pretence that you were in a position to help him purchase a Government
house which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to
Section 1(1)(a) and punishable under section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and
other Fraud Related Offences acts of 2006”.
She pleaded not guilty to the eight
charges, prompting the prosecution counsel, Azegbeobor Ifeyinwa, to ask for a
trial date.
But defence counsel, Daniel Arome
Momoh made an oral application for bail which was granted by Justice Banjoko.
Consequently, the accused was admitted to bail in the sum of N20m (Twenty
Million Naira) and two sureties in like sum.
