EFCC detains Gbajabiamila for fraud while the case is put on hold in court
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Suleiman Gbajabiamila, 63, was detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday.

Gbajabiamila was charged with two counts of cheating Lateef Adeyemo, a Nigerian living in the United Kingdom, of N30 million last year.

The accusation states that between September and October 2021, Gbajabiamila, who pretended to be an estate agent, illegally received and diverted to his use the money intended to buy a two-bedroom apartment for Adeyemo.

The suspect, who is alleged to have been on the lam for months, was first charged with theft and making a false presentation, both crimes punishable by Section 287 of Lagos State’s 2015 criminal code.

Gbajabiamila, according to the authorities, was on a spending binge during that time, and some of the bank transfers were made between him and his wife.

According to the police in charge of the investigation, the victim also paid N150,000 for the criminal to be located. However, Gbajabiamila chose to go offline, making it challenging to find him.

On Tuesday, September 20, 2022, he put on his phone, and as a result, he was found.

The case was continued to July 25, 2022, after Gbajabiamila’s initial arraignment on June 20, 2022.

Gbajabiamila was ordered to remain in the Ikoyi Correctional Center by Chief Magistrate Olatunbosun until January 2023; nevertheless, she was released on December 24, 2022.

Gbajabiamila’s attorney requested an adjournment when the case was resumed yesterday to allow the parties to resolve the issue, and the sitting judge acceded to his request.

The matter was postponed for further consideration until April 5, 2023.

Gbajabiamila said that he made some poor financial decisions with the money and was unable to explain what transpired. He also stated that he was prepared to negotiate a settlement and divide the money’s payment to the victim.

But drama soon followed the court proceedings when the EFCC ordered Gbajabiamila, who had already entered a car, to disembark. He was then shoved into a waiting car, and the anti-graft agency’s operatives sped off with him.

The victim charged Gbajabiamila with pulling practical jokes to escape punishment.

According to the most recent court order, he should have been free for the hearing today (yesterday), but he had been released in December 2022. He has been making use of his reputation as Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
