Alleged N47m fraud: Court declares businesswoman wanted

Businesswoman Blessing Adanu's bail was revoked by an Ikeja Special Offenses Court on Thursday and she was made wanted for allegedly scamming a client of N47 million.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission brought the businesswoman before the court on two counts.

These involve both theft and acquiring money under false pretences.

When the defendant was arraigned on December 19, 2019, she entered a not guilty plea to the accusation.

The defendant's bail was cancelled by Justice Mojisola Dada when she failed to appear in court.

Dada directed the EFCC to issue a wanted person declaration for the defendant and ordered her arrest before their upcoming date.

The judge adjourned the case until December 2 for adoption of final written address.

The EFCC counsel, Samuel Daji, had informed the court that the case, which was slated for adoption of final written address, could not go on due to the absence of the defendant.

Daji moved an application urging the court to revoke the bail of the defendant.

The prosecutor argued that it was not the first time the defendant was absent in court and that it was obvious that the defendant had jumped bail.

The defence counsel, Olarenwaju Ajanaku, did not oppose the application of the prosecution and also expressed surprise at the absence of the defendant.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that EFCC accused the defendant of trading under the name and style of Emerald Multipurpose Cooperative Society to defraud one Favour Nnamani.

According to EFCC, the alleged offences contravened Section 1(1) and 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006, and Section 278 of the Criminal Law of Lagos 2011.
