The police in Lagos have arraigned a website
designer, Ikechukwu Iwezor, in an Igbosere
Magistrate’s Court for allegedly defrauding a
blogger to the tune of N1.7m.
The 28-year-old Iwezor was brought before the
magistrate, Mrs. F.F. George, on Monday on
three counts of fraud.
The police said Iwezor and the blogger, Ola
Akinlayo, met on Nairaland , a social media
platform, sometime in September 2015, and
started a discussion on website designs.
It was learnt that after reaching an agreement,
Iwezor obtained N1.7m from the blogger for the
purpose of designing a website for him.
Iwezor, however, reportedly fled to Abuja after the
payment.
Akinlayo was said to have reported the matter to
the police after efforts to get his money back
proved abortive.
Our correspondent learnt that Iwezor was
subsequently apprehended at Sauka, Abuja.
A police prosecutor, Sergeant Innocent Odugbo,
who arraigned him on three counts of conspiracy,
obtaining money under false pretences and
stealing, told the court that the offences were
punishable under sections 409, 312 (2) and 285
of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
The charges read in part, “That you, Ikechukwu
Iwezor, between September 2015 and April 8,
2016 in Lagos, within the Lagos Magisterial
District, did commit felony to wit: stealing and
obtaining money under false pretences.
“That you, with an intent to defraud, did obtain
the sum of N1.7m from one Ola Akinlayo, on the
pretext of helping him to design a website, a
representation you knew to be false.”
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.
His counsel, Danielle Abbe, prayed the court to
grant him bail on liberal terms, adding that he
was innocent until proved guilty.
The presiding magistrate granted the defendant
bail in the sum of N300,000, with two sureties in
like sum.
She added that the sureties must show evidence
of three years tax clearance and present their
addresses to the prosecutor for verification.
