Court Orders Banks To Provide Ajetunmobi Couple Account Statements Over N11.79b Scam

Justice Oyekan-Abdullahi made the order sequel to a motion filed and argued by the plaintiffs’ counsel, Adetunji Adedoyin-Adeniyi of AAA Chambers.

The two firms and the Ajetunmobi couple have been associated with an N11,795,090,000 investment scam, by aggrieved Nigerian investors.
