Two fake car dealers allegedly defraud customer of N1.5m
The EFCC on Wednesday arraigned the duo of Temitope Owolani (alias Patra Raphael) and Godwin Iyetor (alias Engineer) for alleged fraud.
Owolani and Iyetor were arraigned before Justice Adamu Turaki of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretence.
The duo are being prosecuted by the Commission for allegedly defrauding one Isiaku Ahmadu of the sum of N1.5 million, purportedly for the purchase of a Toyota Hiace bus.
The petitioners say, in December 2017, Ahmadu transferred through his Fidelity bank account the sum of N1.5 million to Enwerem Christian’s Eko bank account as a part-payment for the purchase of the bus.
After confirming receipt of the payment, the suspects neither delivered the bus to him nor refunded the money he paid to them.
The defendants were remanded in prison custody for the matter to be reassigned to a vacation judge. No adjourned date was given by the court.
