The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has filed a fresh criminal charge against notorious fraudster Fred Ajudua for allegedly defrauding a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi, of about $8.395m.
Arraigned with him are Alumile Adedeji (a.k.a Ade Bendel), Mr Jonathan and Princess Hamabon and others now at large. They were alleged to have defrauded Bamaiyi at the Kirikiri Maximum Prisons, where he and the other fraud suspects were on remand for various crimes.
The EFCC in the fresh charge dated October 14, 2014 alleged that the accused committed the crime between November 2004 and June 2005.
The anti graft agency claimed that the suspects had fraudulently collected the money from Bamaiyi, falsely claiming that it was part of the professional fees charged by Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) to facilitate his release from prison.
EFCC also alleged that Ajudua and others fraudulently claimed that $1m out of the total money collected from Bamaiyi was for financial assistance for the treatment of Justice Olubunmi Oyewole’s father.
