A LAGOS high court sitting in Ikeja yesterday remanded in custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the second son of the late business mogul, Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, Deji, over an alleged N35.5 million fraud.

Abiola was taken before Justice Adeniyi Onigbanjo for alleged stealing and fraudulent conversion. The EFCC alleged that Deji Abiola of the late prominent politician collected N35.5 million in 2008 from one Mr. Jide Jose, on the pretext of importing printing machines from Switzerland for him.

The anti-graft agency claimed that he never supplied the said machines to the complainant and had converted the money to personal use.

When the case came up for hearing yesterday, the EFCC counsel, Mr. Omeiza Adebola, asked the court to compel Abiola to take his plea and be properly arraigned.He also told the court that the matter had been before the court since September 2, 2010, insisting that the charge should be read to the defendant.

However, Abiola’s counsel, Mr. A. B. Kasumu, objected to his arraignment, arguing that they had just been notified about the process. Kasumu said the defendant who had been enjoying administrative bail granted him by the EFCC had come to court out of his own volition. He added that Abiola should be granted sufficient time to consult with his lawyers before taking his plea as guaranteed by the right to fair hearing.

Kasumu also asked the court to grant his client bail or remand him in EFCC custody pending the filing of the bail application to be heard at the next adjournment.The matter was adjourned till June 30, 2011 for Abiola’s arraignment.

The return of the crop production graduate. ZnO/nchara/igbobuigbo, welcome back.

lol

Heyyyyy, can somebody tell me this is not the Abiola's son that wears that bushy beard (USTAZ)?. He better not be oooooo!!!!!. In any case, if he were to be or not, Fela Anikulapo had once told us that "Imam na gbaladun", so there is cause for panic. The guy must have just swindled the mugu under the influence of the Imam.


Gbam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey when is you teaching me Hydroponics?

I need help writing a $500,000 grant to the NIH.

They want me to come up with an original proposal and I was wondering if you could put me through. since you are the world acclaimed Hydroponics expert from Nigeria

Lets cooperate for the progress of Southern Nigeria.

So anyway, let me know when you are ready. I love Hydroponics, hydroponicity and everything in between.

Do you mind posting some of your lab pictures again, so i can include them in my grant proposal. BTW, I am very serious. Time is not on my side.

This is not a case of 419 per se. May be he intended to supply the materials but came short due to logistic errors.

So much Venom without knowing the facts, this country thrives on misinformation and "beer parlour logic". From the post, a business deal went wrong  surely there are two sides to a story. lets see what the courts decide. Until then be slow to judge and pray you never come across an "alakoba" as you go about your business

the son has turned to 419,na waoh
the sins of the father.

U dont speak because u want to be heard, through out his fathers life was he ever locked up for bussines gone sour or when has it become a crime for somebody to die for democracy which we all are enjoying now, how many leaders in the past laid down their life for democracy. Abiola should be worshiped in this GOD forsaken country.cheers

looks more like investments went wrong instead of stealing

The abiolas have resorted to fraud; has their loot run out or what? ?

Is he becoming broke?? I don't know. . He could as well join politics; the name Abiola would open doors for him

why am i not suprised?? like father like son

what

what

@Badesh, why dnt u gather ur info together well b4 posting, u will save urself dis.
Deji abiola is d plaintiff being referred to here, not Jamiu Abiola whom u av miscievously described as a imam. Do u hav a phobia for (his/any muslim's) moustache. If u dnt av any sensible tin to post, pls read and learn. D fact dt u can construst a sentence wt 'is' &'was' dsnt mean u should come to an internet forum and post trash.
Ur post betrayed ur sentiments, grow up, ok?

smh, 

Was Abiola a criminal cos i dont ondastd y NLders are sayin like fada lyk son.

Hardeyorlah:

read your history or ask about ITT

Abiola Sr was definitely a crook.

He cheated Nigerian citizens out of millions due to his shoddy phone lines.

^^You should read the facts before you post something retarde d, but I guess if the post is coming from a ret@rd what should we expect!
