Justice Sunday Adeniyi of the Upper Area Court sitting in Ilorin has ordered that the Oyo State Comptroller of Correctional Service Centre, Bamidele Ademola, be remanded for allegedly defrauding one Dele Adeleke the sum of N2 million.
Primestarnews gathered from NAN that this is the second time the judge would issue the order following Ademola’s alleged perpetual habit of jumping bail.
The direct complaint filed against the defendants revealed that the complainant paid the cumulative sum of N25 million for the purchase of a landed property situated at Ipaye Street, Off Onikanga Road, GRA, Ilorin.
The payments were said to be made in tranches into the Fidelity Bank account of Ademola and the last deposit was done on January 29, 2019.
The direct complaint stressed that it was one Mr Popoola Gabriel who initially had interest in acquiring the property that introduced the complainant to the defendant.
Popoola had paid the sum of N1.4 million into the comptroller’s account, who promised to refund the money.
It was stated further that Ademola agreed to hand over the property to the complainant on February 10, 2018, but failed to either do so or refund the money paid into his account.
Efforts geared towards recovering the property from the defendant was said to have proven abortive despite the intervention of personalities from Omu-Aran, the headquarters of Irepodun Local Government Area of the state.
