The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, on March 24, 2015 arraigned Justice
Unuafe and his son, Omorigho Unuafe, before
Justice Lambo Akanbi of the Federal High Court
Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on a 4-count charge
bordering on obstruction, possession of
fraudulent documents and obtaining money by
false pretense.
Father and son were arrested by operatives of
the EFCC upon intelligence gathered while
investigating a reported case of internet scam.
The duo who are jobless, were found in
possession of Honda Accord 2004 model and an
Acura ZDX, without document to prove how they
got the vehicles. They also have an almost
completed storey building located in Delta State .
The accused persons decidedly refused to give
the EFCC operatives the required information
needed from them for the investigation.
One of the charges reads:
"That you Justice Unuafe on or about the 12th
day of February, 2015 at Port Harcourt within
the jurisdiction of this honorable court did
obstruct the officers of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission by refusing to give
the details of your account number, the details
of your relation who sold Acura ZDX with
registration number SMK 307 DC to you and
other information requested from you and
thereby committed an offence contrary to and
punishable under Section 38 (2) (b0 of the
Economics and Financial Crimes Commission
(Establishment) Act, 2004."
Another charge reads:
"That you Omorigho Justice Unuafe on or about
30th day of December, 2014 at Port Harcourt
within the jurisdiction of this honorable court
with intent to defraud, did obtain the total sum
of $4,256 (Four Thousand Two Hundred and
Fifty Six Dollars) by false pretence from one
Cheng Chung Shin by representing yourself as
MARO MOTON, which you knew to be false and
thereby committed an offence contrary to
Section 1 (1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and
Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and
Punishable under Section 1 (3) of the said Act."
They pleaded not guilty when the charges were
read to them.
In view of their pleas, counsel to EFCC, Sadiq
Hussain, prayed the court to fix a date for trial
to commence, while the accused persons be
remand in EFCC custody.
The defence counsel, C. I. Anyaghbuna,
however, pleaded for bail for the accused
persons.
In his ruling, Justice Akanbi granted them bail in
the sum of N500,000 (Five Thousand Naira) with
one surety each in like sum. The sureties must
have their addresses verified by the EFCC, and
must be responsible members of the society.
The matter has been adjourned to May 20, 2015
for trial.
