The Ibadan zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arraigned four suspects allegedly involved in internet fraud before Justice Patricia Ajoku of the Federal High Court 1, sitting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The suspects are Samuel Afolabi Afolabi, Olanrewaju Idris Arogundade, Omolanbe Sogo Oluwafemi and Adedapo John Adeagbo.
They were arraigned separately on different count charges that border on possession of fake documents containing false pretences, fraudulent impersonation with intent to defraud and other internet related offences.
The suspects however all pleaded not guilty to the offences when read to them.
The EFCC counsel, Mr. Oyediran Oyelakin, due to the not-guilty plea by the four suspects, prayed the court to remand the accused in prison pending the next adjourned date.
However, counsel to Olanrewaju and Adedapo filed for their bail applications.
Justice Ajoku then fixed November 4 and 5 for hearing on their respective bail applications.
All defendants were ordered to be remanded in prison custody pending hearing on bail applications and/or substantive matters.
