The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ilorin Zonal Office on Thursday, March 7, 2019 arraigned one Abolarin Ridwan Gbolahan before Justice Babagana Ashigara of a Federal High Court, sitting in Ilorin, Oyo State on a six-count charge bordering on Advanced Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006, and obtaining under false presence.
One of the charges reads: “That you, Abolarin Ridwan Gbolahan (alias Frank Sinatra) on or about 12th day of February, 2019, in Ilorin, within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court, with the intent of defraud, had in your possession a document containing false pretence, to wit: Part Time Work Wanted, a document printed from your email [email protected] which you sent to [email protected], a document you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 6 and 8 (b) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Actโ.
He pleaded “not guilty” to the charges.
