EFCC Arraigns Medical Director, 4 Others For N84.8 Million Scam by HowAreYou(m): 7:27pm On Nov 10, 2015
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, November 10, 2015 arraigned A former Medical Director of the Federal Medical Centre , Owo, Ondo State, Dr Olufemi Abiodun Omotosho and four other suspects: Adebayo Sunday Dada; Yusuf Saka Olarenwaju; Ogunleye
Samson Adeyemi and Azeez Dayo Kola
before Justice M.I Sani of the Federal High Court sitting in Akure, Ondo State, on an eight count charge bordering on conspiracy and money Laundering.

The accused persons were docked for allegedly
colluding to convert and launder the sum of
N84,884,005 (Eighty Four Million, Eight Hundred
and Eighty Four Thousand, Five Naira Only)
illegally obtained from the Federal Government.

The first accused person was said to have
connived with other four suspects, to steal
various sums of money belonging to Federal
Medical Centre, Owo, by using his position as the
Medical Director of the institution through
inflation of contracts, accounts manipulation and
non- remittance of the institution's account
balances as mandated by the Central Bank of
Nigeria at December 31 of each year.
The first accused person is already facing a
corruption charge before Justice Lateef Lawal
Akapo of the Lagos State High Court, for
allegedly conniving with his lawyer to bribe
operatives of the EFCC.

One of the charges read; “You Dr Olufemi
Abiodun Omotosho, Adebayo Sunday Dada,
Yusuf Saka Olarenwaju, Ogunleye Samson
Adeyemi, Azeez Dayo Kola sometimes in July
2013 at Owo, within the jurisdiction of this
honourable court did convert the sum of
N22,641,164.92 ( Twenty Two Million, Six
Hundred and Forty One Thousand, One Hundred
and Sixty Four Naira, Ninety Two Kobo) property
of the Federal government of Nigeria which sum
you knew represented the proceeds of a crime
with the aim of concealing the nature of the
proceeds of the said crime and thereby
committed an offence punishable under section
15 of the Money Laundering ( Prohibition ) Act
No11, 2011 (as amended)”.

The accused persons pleaded not guilty to all the
charges. Counsel representing 2nd and 5th
defendants, Femi Emmanuel as well as counsel
representing the 3rd and 4th defendants, Dapo
Agbede, both filed formal bail applications before
the court. However, the counsel representing the
first defendant, Rotimi Olorunfemi moved an oral
bail application praying the court to admit his
client to bail.
Justice Sani adjourned the case to November,
17, 2015 for the hearing of bail applications and
ordered that the defendants be remanded in
EFCC custody pending the determination of bail.
