The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned a businessman, Dauda Yahaya Edache, before the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja over an alleged ₦2.5 million visa fraud.
Edache was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the Commission before Justice A.D. Balogun, who is sitting as a vacation judge.
The defendant is facing a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and retention of proceeds of crime involving the sum of ₦2.5 million.
According to the EFCC, the charges stem from allegations that the businessman fraudulently obtained money from a victim under the guise of processing a visa and unlawfully retained the proceeds of the alleged crime.
The anti-graft agency said the matter is now before the court for determination.
