A notorious investment scammer, Charley Isimhemhen, has been remanded by a magistrates' court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State, over offences bordering on criminal breach of trust, cheating and advance fee fraud.

The complainant, one Mrs Joy Arigbede, had petitioned the Kwara State Commissioner of Police over the matter.

According to the letter of complaint, the suspect, who lives in the Osere area in Ilorin, presented himself as the “CEO of Help Team Global Company”, a network business.

“He told the complainant to invest, promising she would get back the capital and huge interest within one year, which made her invest N13m. But you refused to pay her after the one year period but started deceiving her,” the charge sheet read.

The prosecutor, Gbenga Ayeni, told the court that the suspect was a habitual fraudster who went about defrauding people under the pretense of investment.

The Magistrate, Monisola Gbadeyan Kamson, remanded the suspect and adjourned the case to November 10, 2022.
