189 SIM cards retrieved from accused persons, prosecutor tells court

A prosecutor, Mr. Moruf
Animashaun, has told a Lagos court
that 189 Subscriber Identity Module
(SIM) cards were retrieved from
accused persons charged with
defrauding a woman of N3.3million
through a phone call.
Animashaun, from the office of the
Inspector-General of Police, gave
the information while objecting to a
bail application of the accused
persons at an Igbosere Magistrates’
Court in Lagos.
In the suit, Samson Owah, 39; Job
Akakasi, 26; Benjamin Oghereworo,
42 and Profit Ejimulode, 58, are
standing trial on a four-count
charge bordering on conspiracy,
fraud and stealing.
They pleaded not guilty and their
counsel, Mr. Anayo Agbo, urged the
court to grant them bail on liberal
terms.
“What matters in this case is for the
accused to provide reliable sureties,
who will ensure they appear in
court whenever they are needed,”
Agbo said.
Objecting to the application,
Animashaun told the court that the
accused were tracked before they
were arrested.
“They do not have permanent
abode, they move around the
country and perpetrate criminal
acts.
“During investigation, 189 SIM cards
were retrieved from them. I want
the court to refuse them bail,” he
said.
The Magistrate, Mrs. Abimbola
Komolafe, however, granted them
bail at N500, 000 each, with two
sureties each in like sum.
She said the sureties must be
gainfully employed and should
show evidence of three years tax
payment to the Lagos State
government.
Komolafe said the sureties must live
within the court jurisdiction.
Animashaun had told the court that
the accused committed the offences
on May 4, at Ecobank PLC, Ikorodu,
Lagos.
He said the accused called the
complainant, Patience Denatie,
posing as her brother, and told her
to send money for a business they
spoke about.
“A total sum of N3.3 million was
paid to the accused through a bank
account they provided.
“She (the complainant) had paid in
the money before she realised that
it was a scam. She reported the
matter to the police, who
investigated it and arrested the
accused,” he said.
Animashaun said the offences
contravened sections 287 (5), 314
and 411 of the Criminal Law of
Lagos State, 2015 (Revised).
The case was adjourned till August
29 for mention.

The billion coins ( TBC)

TBC Coin TBC coins are the most valuable currency in the world because they are the first “Abundance-Based” currency and during the wealth creation phase of our global currency roll out you have the opportunity to become Millionaires and Billionaires automatically from a single one-time purchase of TBC coins. Kringles are the smallest change of TBC coins and most of the Community prefer to refer to the units of value in Kringles instead of TBC. The main thing to understand is that we, by private agreement, will never let the price of our coins go down in value. It is a very simple Membership Agreement, but it is the “secret sauce” of an “Abundance-Based” currency. More info How to Buy and Sell It doesn’t make sense to share abundance with someone that already has abundance. So, it doesn’t make sense to sell TBC coins to an existing member that already has TBC coins. There are thousands of us here as TBC members, but there are billions...
