Justice Kuewumi ordered the suspect to be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case till September 14, 2016 for commencement of trial.

Meanwhile, the EFCC has also arraigned three suspects: Idorenyin Okon, Usen Akpan and
Ukpai Onyike before Justice Kuewumi on a four-count charge bordering on impersonation and conspiracy to obtain money under false pretences to the tune of N18m. The suspects allegedly defrauded different customers of a bank to the tune of over N18m over a period of two years.

They were, however, arrested at a Union Bank branch in Ibadan, Oyo State, in the process of obtaining an ATM card of another unsuspecting customer of the bank.

One of the charges reads: “That you Idorenyin Okon and Ukpai Onyike between February and April 2016 in Ibadan, Oyo State, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court with intent to obtain an ATM card, conspired with Timothy Akpan (still at large) to fraudulently impersonate Esto Funmi Emmanuel.”

The suspects pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were read to them.

Justice Kuewumi ordered that the suspects be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case till September 14, 2016 for hearing of the bail applications.
