Job Scam: 5 Arraigned, Remanded Over Employment Fraud by lendron03(m): 8:43pm On Oct 27, 2014
The Federal Inland Revenue
Service (Special Enforcement Unit) on
Monday arraigned five men, Alex Oki,
Ogbonna Agwu, Shuaibu Mohammed,
Kehinde Jamah and David Kachia over
involvement in employment fraud.
The accused persons were charged with
conspiring to defraud, actually defrauding
and obtaining money from members of
the public by false pretences, ostensibly
to secure employment for them.
The accused allegedly posed as officials of
the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIR)
to carry out the unlawful act.
They were said to have deceived one
Esther Amara into depositing N16,500,
N20,000 and N10,000 at various times
into a UBA account to secure a job with
the FIR for her.
The offences, according to the charge
sheet signed by Mr B.M Hamis, Senior
Manager, Legal Services, FIR, contravened
sections 516 and 419 of the Criminal
Code, CAP28 of Nigeria, 2004.
The suspects are also alleged to have
contravened the provisions of Section 46
of the FIR Act No 37 of 2007.
When the charges were read out to the
accused, they all pleaded not guilty.
Mr Chinazor, Edeh, the prosecution
counsel, thereafter asked for a date for
their trial but informed the court that he
was served a bail application by the
accused persons’ counsel.
Mr Ebenezer Agbadaki, counsel for the
accused persons, said he had filed and
served a motion praying the court to
admit the accused persons to bail pending
the determination of the suit.
He said that that his clients had been in
detention since their arrest on Sept. 9
and urged the court to exercise its
discretion in admitting them to bail,
accordingly.
The trial judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole,
after listening to both counsel, granted
the bail application but remanded the
accused in Kuje Prisons till they met the
bail conditions.
He ordered that the accused persons
must produce two sureties each, one of
whom must be a civil servant on GL 10 or
above and own property valued at N10
million in Abuja.
Kolawole also ordered that the sureties
must swear to an affidavit of means, sign
a bail bond of five million naira, produce
and deposit their letters of employment
and means of identification with the court
registrar.
The judge then adjourned the case to
Dec. 16 for trial.
