Press statement from EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, on Wednesday, August 19, 2015 arrested a
suspected serial fraudster, Dr. Kunle Adeshola,
who issued a forged draft to the tune of
N3.29billion, in a phony land deal.

The suspect, who presented himself as Director,
Corporate and Management Service, Amazon
Inc., had allegedly entered a contract with Atkan
Services Nigeria Limited for the purchase of 50
units of flats in different locations within the FCT,
Abuja and subsequently presented a Deutsche Bank, "bank draft" no 081758 in the sum of $19.930,
900.00 purportedly drawn by Deutsche Bank in
favour of Infinity Trust Savings and Loans
Limited. But the draft was returned unpaid after
Stanbic IBTC Plc, discovered it was forged and
reported the fraud to the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The apex bank consequently reported the matter
to the EFCC. It will be recalled that the suspect
had earlier been arrested and prosecuted by
EFCC for claiming to be an Assistant Commissioner of Police seconded by the Commission to the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation, NTDC, to cleanse the rot in the agency.

Adeshola, who had claimed to be Head of the
EFCC Chairman's Monitoring Unit was charged to
court on a seven-count bordering on forgery,
impersonation, and obtaining by false pretence
before Justice Usaini Baba Yusuf of the FCT High
Court, Abuja. Justice Yusuf, however, struck out
the charges on the grounds that they were not
related to financial crimes, a ruling that has since
been challenged at the appellate court by the
EFCC.

EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, said the
suspect will be charged to court as soon as
investigation is concluded.
