Obakin Ajibola was charged on Tuesday by the Ibadan Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission with four counts related to an alleged theft of N251,685,000 from a company called Lee Fakino Nigeria Limited, where the accused had also served as a director.
Wilson Uwujaren, the anti-graft agency’s head of media and publicity, stated in a statement that the defendant allegedly committed the claimed offense in Ibadan sometime in December 2022.
The defendant, who was listed as one of the company’s two directors and a signatory to its account, is accused of taking money out of the account without the knowledge or permission of Akindele Fajemiyo, the company’s managing director and chief executive officer, who is also a signatory.
According to allegations, Obakin deleted the MD/CEO’s contact information and email address from the bank account information for Lee Fakino Nigeria Limited, which allowed him to monitor the account and receive transaction alerts.
The defendant was further asked to give the court both his National Identification Slip and home address.
The case was continued for hearing on October 23, 2023.
