The Ibadan zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday arraigned Mr. Ibraheem Adesina Adeyemi on a one-count charge of stealing.
The accused was brought before Justice Ladiran Akintola of the Oyo State High Court, Ibadan.
The charge preferred against the accused reads: “That you Ibraheem Adesina Adeyemi, male, in April 2016 or thereabout, in Ibadan, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, with intent to defraud, did convert to your personal use the sum of N3,000,000.00 (Three Million Naira only), property of Alhaji Kamoru Atilola, which he gave to you in trust for keep and thereby committed an offence.”
Adeyemi pleaded not guilty.

EFCC counsel Sanusi Galadanchi prayed the court to fix a date to begin the trial.
But the defence counsel, Bolarinwa Lawal, moved a bail application he had earlier filed on behalf of his client, asking that he be admitted to bail.
Justice Akintola granted the defendant N2million bail and two sureties in the like sum.
The sureties, he said, shall be resident within the court jurisdiction and shall present their tax clearance certificates for three years, which will be verified by the court.
The case continues on April 15.
