A sixty-year-old man, Charles
Jide-Oni, who claimed to be a professor and lecturer at the Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, Osun State, was arraigned before a Federal High Court
sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos State for allegedly obtaining money under false pretense and engaging in advance fee fraud.
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, Ibadan zonal office, arraigned the ‘Professor’ and 12 other
internet fraud suspects before Justice Nicholas Oweibo, the Federal High Court
vacation judge for the Southwest zone, on Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
Jide-Oni’s arraignment was sequel to the EFCC’s damning findings
about the activities of an illegal financial outfit he floated through which he
allegedly swindled his victims of several millions of naira.
Some of the victims had earlier written a petition to the
Commission which led to the investigations that indicted him in the alleged
fraud.
