Three individuals have been charged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for their alleged involvement in a ₦247.5 million fraud.
The defendants Titilayo Funmilayo Eboh, Uchenna Ejindu, and Salami Eneojo Stephen were arraigned on Friday, January 30, 2026, before Justice Ramon Oshodi of the Lagos State High Court. They face an amended four-count charge covering conspiracy, obtaining money under false pretences, money laundering, and theft.
The anti-graft agency alleges that the trio conspired to defraud a businessman, Jude Nyemike Atoh, by promising to provide him with the US dollar equivalent of the sum in exchange for ₦247.5 million.
EFCC investigations reportedly show the funds were handed over in cash based on fraudulent representations made by the defendants. One of the charges specifies that the offence occurred in July 2024 in Lagos and violates the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2006.
The case has been adjourned for further hearing. The EFCC reaffirmed its dedication to combating financial crimes and urged the public to exercise caution and perform necessary checks before engaging in significant monetary transactions.
