Alleged N8bn Fraud: EFCC Re-Arraigns Skye Bank Chair, Ayeni; MD, Oguntayo by MrGidifeed: 7:46am On May 28, 2019
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on May 27, 2019 re-arraigned a former Chairman, Board of Directors, Skye Bank Plc (now Polaris Bank), and the former Managing Director, MD of the Bank, Timothy Ajani Oguntayo, before Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, of a Federal High Court, Abuja, on an eight-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of N8 billion.

They were initially arraigned before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of a Federal High Court, Abuja on December 17, 2018, shortly after which the judge was transferred out of Abuja to the Delta Division of the Court. The case was thus re-assigned to Justice Ojukwu, necessitating the need for their re-arraignment.

One of the counts reads: “That you, Dr. Tunde Ayeni whilst being the Chairman, Board of Directors of Skye Bank Plc and Timothy Ajani Oguntayo whilst being the Managing Director and Chief Executive of Skye Bank between the years 2014 and 2015 conspired at different times to do an illegal act, to wit; caused cash delivery to you, Dr. Tunde Ayeni of the sums of money totalling N4,750,000,000 (Four Billion, Seven Hundred and Fifty Million Naira) and USD5,000,000 (Five Million United States Dollars) belonging to Skye Bank Plc, contrary to the provisions of Section 1(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (as amended) read together with Section 18 (a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (as amended) and punishable under Section 16(2) (b) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (as amended).”

They pleaded “not guilty” to the charges.

Wole Olanipekun, SAN lead defence counsel applied that the Court allow the defendants to continue on the bail terms earlier granted them by Justice Dimgba.

Counsel for the EFCC, Suraj Saeda, SAN noted that the defendant had been attending court as expected, and had not jumped bail, adding that, “we have no objection to deny them bail on the condition imposed by Justice Dimgba.”

Justice Dimgba had admitted them to bail in the sum of N50 million with two sureties each in like sum, who may be either civil servants of not less than the rank of Assistant Director or be private business men or professionals provided that one of the sureties is civil servant, the other surety being a private businessman or a professional must be the owner of a landed property of sufficient value within Abuja metropolis, excluding the satellite towns, adding that, “where the two sureties are private businessmen or professionals, they must show evidence of landed properties of sufficient value within Abuja metropolis excluding the satellite towns”.

Justice Ojukwu, thereafter granted them bail as requested and adjourned to July 2, 2019.

Since 2018?!
This is the only thing EFCC and our judiciary fall short on.
They should speed up every case of fraud in this nation just like the Naira Marley boy's case and send to jail any corrupt persons ASAP.

Justice delayed is justice denied!
There should be law for time limit for a case of corruption in our country.
Nuff said!

This kind man will lead praise and worship at work every morning then on Sunday they have the loudest voice singing and dancing and yet they do the worst things underground.

8 billion naira is no small money. If minimum wage is 30,000 then 8 billion is enough to pay wages of 266,666 workers ! Also why 50 million bail ! That amount is peanut to someone who stole 8 billion .

Would a man that stole 800,000 be given 5,000 naira bail ?

Nice one EFCC even tho you guys are useless and will likely bungle this case. But it is good for all Afonja criminals to face Igbo judges and likewise all Igbo Criminals face Afonja judges. They will Surely administer retribution swiftly against each other and help Nigeria grow...

IT IS ONE THING TO RISE TO THE TOP AND ANOTHER THING TO REMAIN AT THE TOP.

IT TAKES DISCIPLES, HONESTY AND HARDWORK TO REMAIN AT THE TOP.

The way our boardroom CEO are messing themselves up is worrisome.

joeyes:
if you know what went down in skye bank you would be amazed. the likes of tinubu and his boys would come with bullion vans to carry morning in the night. money was much zapped like pure water from skye bank. chai

Fear God!

Ayeni is a through-breed PDP guy. He made his money during PDP locust years.

He single handedly donated 1Billion Naira for the construction of PDP secretariat and was among those that bankrolled GEJ re-election campaign.

He’s travail started because there is no free money any longer when the PDP lost in 2015.

This is a typical example of those that made their money in the corridors of power.

He got so greedy and he’s a thief that nearly collapsed or even collapsed Skye Bank.
