Nairaland Man Duped Of 1.7 Milliona Naira By A Web Designer Also On Nairaland by rago(m): 12:40pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
The police in Lagos have arraigned a website designer,
Ikechukwu Iwezor, in an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court for
allegedly defrauding a blogger to the tune of N1.7m.
The 28-year-old Iwezor was brought before the
magistrate, Mrs. F.F. George, on Monday on three counts
of fraud.
The police said Iwezor and the blogger, Ola Akinlayo,
met on Nairaland , a social media platform, sometime in
September 2015, and started a discussion on website
designs.
PUNCH Metro learnt that after reaching an agreement,
Iwezor obtained N1.7m from the blogger for the purpose
of designing a website for him.
Iwezor, however, reportedly fled to Abuja after the
payment.
Akinlayo was said to have reported the matter to the
police after efforts to get his money back proved
abortive.
Our correspondent learnt that Iwezor was subsequently
apprehended at Sauka, Abuja.
A police prosecutor, Sergeant Innocent Odugbo, who
arraigned him on three counts of conspiracy, obtaining
money under false pretences and stealing, told the court
that the offences were punishable under sections 409,
312 (2) and 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State,
2011.
The charges read in part, “That you, Ikechukwu Iwezor,
between September 2015 and April 8, 2016 in Lagos,
within the Lagos Magisterial District, did commit felony
to wit: stealing and obtaining money under false
pretences.
“That you, with an intent to defraud, did obtain the sum
of N1.7m from one Ola Akinlayo, on the pretext of
helping him to design a website, a representation you
knew to be false.”
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.
His counsel, Danielle Abbe, prayed the court to grant him
bail on liberal terms, adding that he was innocent until
proved guilty.
The presiding magistrate granted the defendant bail in
the sum of N300,000, with two sureties in like sum.
She added that the sureties must show evidence of three
years tax clearance and present their addresses to the
prosecutor for verification. |

All of you would be shouting scammer ,no proof of chat ,no evidence of bank transactions,nothing at all, The truth is that in tech business,especially when you are freelancer ,issues with clients is inevitable,but it shouldn't be a constant occurence, I was supposed to train a Nairalander once, a lady we set a meeting things didn't go as planned and I waited for her and didn't hear from her at the set time, I had to proceed to something else, she came here and started shouting scammer, I didn't collect money from her ooo, just a meeting. When people bring out claims that someone scammed you always put proof , images etc. I also have dealings with a client recently somethings made me not to deliver on deadline , which is totally normal in buisness ,you can't deliver accurately all the time ,she was furious ,but I compensated her with extra service more than times two the worth of what she paid for and she is happy,Web designers ,graphic designers and freelancers generally please always attempt to resolve conflicts wether you are at fault or not,your image is very important in any buisness. |
