The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Modupe Oriyomi Ativie before the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on charges of visa fraud, totaling N31.06m, $3,600 and €1,815. Ativie appeared before Justice A.T. Muhammed on a five-count charge including visa fraud, advance fee fraud and obtaining money under false pretences.
The charges stem from obtaining money from individuals through false pretenses, specifically by offering visa-sponsored employment to Canada for them, which the defendant knew to be false. Ativie pleaded "not guilty" to the charges, leading to a remand in EFCC custody with a trial date to be set and a subsequent bail application hearing.
