“The said persons had started collecting monies from the prospective tenants as far back as October 2018, with evidence of receipts and sometime agreement made to that effect. They continued to procrastinate on delivery of the apartment to the prospective tenants on the pretext that some renovation works were still on-going in the apartments/property.

The said alleged fraudsters perpetuated their acts and concealed their nefarious activities working with; (1) Joseph, who acted as Agent; (2) Usman Adebayo, who acted as the contractor making some renovation on the property; (3) Prince Tunde Adewale, who acted as the Landlord’s son; and (4) Akeem, who also acted as an Agent.

“Alhaji Teslim Idowu and Alhaji Kareem work under the guise of Ilufemiloye Construction Company, as receipts issued to the prospective tenants bear the said company name. However, monies were paid either in cash or into some designated account numbers.

The said persons also arranged, on an individual basis, that all the prospective tenants, from whom they have collect a cumulative sum of money amounting to over Fifty Million Naira (N50,000,000), to come for the keys and handover of their apartments to them on Monday the 24th June 2019.
