EFCC Arrest
Man Over Love Scam In Lagos .
The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC, Lagos Zonal office, today
arraigned one Omotayo Tapere before Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special
Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos State on a two-count charge bordering on
possession of document containing false pretence and forgery.
One
of the counts reads:
“That
you, Omotayo Tapere (aka Robert Fine), sometime in 2018 at Lagos, within the
jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, had in your possession fraudulent email
sent from Robert.fine231101@gmail.com, your email account to Fredrica Fox
through her email,Frederica2014@hotmail.com titled “I am in love”, professing
love to her, a representation you knew to be false.”
The
defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him.
In
view of his plea, prosecution counsel, M.A. Bashir, asked for a trial date and
prayed the court to remand the defendant in prison custody pending the
determination of the case.
Counsel
to the defendant, Oye Akanni, however, told the court that a bail application
had been served on the prosecution.
He,
therefore, urged the court to admit his client to bail in liberal terms.
In
his response, the prosecution counsel, Bashir, urged the court to allow him to
respond to the bail application, saying, “My Lord, the prosecution is still
within the time provided by Law to respond to the bail application filed by the
defendant.”
Justice
Dada adjourned the case to April 17, 2019 for hearing of the bail application
and commencement of trial.
The
defendant was ordered to be remanded in prison custody.
