Alleged N130m fraud: Court orders arraignment of developer for threat to life

The judge gave the order in his ruling on Friday, following a motion for preliminary objection filed earlier by Osakwe’s Counsel, Mr Victor Giwa, asking the court to disregard the suit before it, based on an earlier judgment in another court.

“The defendant here is charged with potential criminal liability for a separate alleged offence, based on inquiries of police investigation, which includes intimidation, threat to life, harassment and fraud. “It is in the interest of justice that the defendant determines his innocence with respect to the claimant’s charge.’’“The arraignment is to provide the prosecution an opportunity, to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt while the defendant stands in defence.”The judge while refusing the defence notice of preliminary objection also adjourned the matter until Nov. 6 for arraignment of the suspect.

“The sum is payment for the purchase of a two-bedroom flat with a maid’s quarter at Abeh Signature Apartment, located at No. 1, Mekong Close, Maitama, Abuja from one Ms Asabe Waziri.“You thereby committed an offence, contrary to Section 3 , and punishable under same Section of the Advance Fee Fraud, Cap. Ab, LFN, 2004.

“You thereby committed an offence, contrary to Section 396 and punishable under Section 397 of the Penal Code Law .”
