A Fuji musician named Felix Osagie faced the Lagos State High Court on Thursday, April 20, 2026, accused of embezzling N21.25 million. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) presented a four-count charge against Osagie, alleging he stole and obtained money through false pretences. Osagie, represented by defense counsel Sunday Afolabi, pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His lawyer informed the court that his client's health had deteriorated while in EFCC custody and urged the court to consider a bail application filed by Osagie on November 5, 2026. The defense cited Osagie's diabetic condition and his inability to walk due to his deteriorating health. The judge granted Osagie bail in the sum of N10 million with two blood relatives as sureties, who must provide proof of verifiable income and not have been outside Nigeria in the past three years. The case was adjourned until December 16, 2026, for trial.
