This online news platform understands that Oguntade was arraigned by the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on October 13, 2020, on a three-count amended charge, bordering on forgery, advance fee fraud, and obtaining by false pretense to the tune of N10,000, 000 (Ten million naira).

 

Count one of his reads, “That you, Olayiwola Oguntade sometime in 2010 at Ibadan within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N10, 000, 000.00K (Ten Million Naira) only, by false pretense through Kola Al-Amin from Polybadan Microfinance Bank Ltd and thereby committed an offence of obtaining money by false pretense, contrary to Section 1 (i) (b) and 1 (3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2006.”

 

Count two reads, “That you, Olayiwola Oguntade sometime in 2010 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court forged an LPO titled Re: Supply of Internet Services, purported to have been issued by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) dated 15th October 2010 with Ref No. JAMB/FIN/282/Vol.4/445 and thereby committed an offence of forgery, contrary to Section 467 of the Criminal Code Law Cap 38, Laws of Oyo State, 2000.”

 

He pleaded “not guilty” to the charges, prompting his over four years of trial, during which prosecution counsel, Oyelakin Oyediran and Lanre Suleiman called 10 witnesses, tendered several incriminating documents against him that were admitted in evidence, and urged the court to convict and sentence him accordingly.

 

In his judgment on January 28, 2025, Justice Taiwo, held that “the prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and the court is convinced that the defendant is guilty of the offences filed against him by the EFCC.” He convicted the defendant and sentenced him to five years imprisonment without an option of a fine.

The convict who was a member of staff of the Finance and Accounts Department of JAMB began his journey to the Nigerian Correctional Center after he forged a Local Purchase Order (LPO) and Letter of Domiciliation and obtained a loan of N10million with them from Polybadan Microfinance Bank under the false pretence of executing a contract, purportedly awarded to him by JAMB for the provision of internet services.

To execute the fraud, he gave the forged documents to a friend, K. Ola Al-Amin who is a customer of the Microfinance bank to help him present them to the bank, in his (Al-Amin’s) name.

 

Deceived by the convict, Al-Amin secured the loan with the forged documents and also helped him transfer the sum to three different companies’ bank accounts, namely: Reeden Investment Limited, Danmarg Multiventures Company, and Enrich System Nigeria Limited, provided to him by the convict on the pretext that the sums were payments to the companies for equipment and installations for the purported internet services.

 

However, investigations revealed that the convict had earlier issued forged LPOs to these companies and had to defraud Polybadan Microfinance Bank of N10 million to pay back the loans he fraudulently obtained from them.
