An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan has convicted and sentenced Olayiwola Oguntade, a former staff member of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), to five years imprisonment for fraud.
Oguntade was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on 13th of October 2020, on a three-count amended charge of forgery, advance fee fraud, and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N10 million.
According to the EFCC, he fraudulently obtained the sum through Kola Al-Amin from Polybadan Microfinance Bank Ltd in 2010.
Despite pleading not guilty, the prosecution, led by Oyelakin Oyediran and Lanre Suleiman, presented 10 witnesses and tendered several incriminating documents as evidence against him.
Delivering judgment on 28th of January 2025, Justice Bayo Taiwo ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
The judge found Oguntade guilty on all charges and sentenced him to five years in prison without the option of a fine. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
