Lagos socialite and suspected serial fraudster, Fred Ajudua, wept yesterday as an Ikeja Special Offences Court ordered his transfer from Ikoyi Maximum Prisons to Kirikiri Prisons.

Justice Mojisola Dada, who issued the order, also declined Ajudua’s request for bail on medical grounds.

Ajudua bowed down his head in the dock and wept as the judge pronounced the judgment.

Ruling on Ajudua’s bail application, Justice Dada ordered the accused, who has been in Ikoyi Prisons custody since the commencement of his trial last year, be transferred to the Kirikiri Maximum Prisons.

The judge noted that Ajudua’s criminal cases were the oldest in the docket of the Lagos State Judiciary and had suffered a lot of setbacks due to acts of disappearances and “health challenges” of the defendant.

She referred to a Court of Appeal ruling of over four years, which ordered Ajudua’s trial, to justify the position of the court.

Justice Dada held that the accused had sufficient time to treat himself but failed to do so.

She said: “This case has suffered a series of adjournments on health grounds for 13 years. I am not persuaded because this case is one of the oldest in Lagos State.

“The sickness of the defendant cannot further delay the case. Trial in this case has commenced and the prosecution has called two witnesses. Parties should vigorously pursue the conclusion of this trial.”

Justice Dada ordered that Ajudua be granted unfettered access to a medical facility in Kirikiri Prisons.

The prosecuting counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Temitope Banjo, thanked the judge for her orders to the defendant.

Ajudua is standing trial on a 12-count amended charge of conspiracy to obtain money by false pretences, obtaining money by false pretences, uttering forged document and forgery.

The EFCC accused him of defrauding two Germans – Michael Kramer and Ziad Abu Zalaf – of $1 million in a business deal in 1993, which turned out to be false.

Justice Dada adjourned the matter till September 27 and 28 for trial.

This man destroyed Ibusa youths. A very intelligent set of people, who got carried away by the Lifestlye of a common criminal.

Today, 419 is now an acceptable norm in the society- all sort of crime hide under yahoo (ritualist, arm robbers etc) justify their ill wealth by tagging it “yahoo”.

You know what is sad about Nigeria, I hear Ibusa people of Delta state worship this man and his wife - who is actually in the State House of Assembly.

This man destroyed lives. Karma will always come knocking someday.

Strong 419ers that year

Ibusa people do not worship nobody. You just called the very intelligent set of people. That is what they are.

I don't know who I like more...Fred my guy who unlike our politicians really has health challenges and is not just using it as a way to get bail easily or the judge who remanded him with an order that he be given full access to treatment...enjoy your time in the maximum security prison...

But such intellectuals are not adding meaningful value to the society. A gang of sleazy thieves from a town known as Ibusa. That is the way Nigerians view Ibusa people because of Ajudua.

If you tell me now that you are from there, I go dodge you.
