A Chief Magistrate's Court in Ado-Ekiti has charged a 41-year-old man, Oladeji Ojo, with alleged fraud involving N3.8 million. Prosecutor ASP Akinwale Oriyomi informed the court that Ojo allegedly converted N3.8 million meant for Rotimi Ojumola, an Isato Street resident, for his own personal use in June 2026. The offense violated Section 329(3) of the Criminal Laws of Ekiti State, 2021.
Ojo's defense attorney, Barrister A.F. Awe, requested bail, assuring the court that he would not flee. The prosecution opposed bail, citing past tracking and the defendant's potential non-compliance with bail conditions. Chief Magistrate Mr. Abayomi Adeosun granted Ojo bail of N200,000 with two sureties of the same amount and ordered the RAV4 vehicle involved to be parked at the court. The case was postponed until October 30, 2026, for further hearing.
