Kwara: Court remands FBI suspect in Mandala prison

Date: 2019-09-27

The FBI suspect, Joseph Oyediran. A Kwara State High Court, sitting in Ilorin, has remanded one of the most wanted suspects by the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Joseph Oyediran, in prison custody.

The 36 years old Oyediran was arraigned on Thursday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before Justice Mahmood Abdulgafar of the state High Court on a five-count charge bordering on internet fraud and obtaining money under false pretence, among others.

Count two of the charge reads, "That you, Joseph Oyediran (Joe MG, Morris Graves), sometime in May 2015, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N1,421,968.00 from one Andrea Smith, a white American woman on the false pretence that you were Joe MG, a white American man in love with her, a representation you knew to be false and punishable under section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act No.14 of 2006."

Oyediran however pleaded not guilty to all the charges levelled against him by the anti-graft agency. In view of the defendant's plea of 'not guilty,' prosecuting counsel, Sesan Ola asked for a trial date to enable the prosecution prove its case.

"We also pray your Lordship to remand the defendant in prison custody pending the hearing and determination of this matter", he stated. Ruling on the submission, Justice Abdulgafar ordered that the defendant be remanded in Mandala Prison and adjourned the case to October 9, 2019 for commencement of trial.
