The Police Special Fraud Unit Lagos in a significant development to an ongoing case of conspiracy, stealing, fraudulent conversion of funds, embezzlement, and money laundering to the tune of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N250,000,000:00) has arraigned two suspects; Taiwo Oluwatimilehin Ezekiel ‘M’ and Airat Opeyemi Rahman ‘F’ for a five count charge at the Federal High Court, Lagos.

The case stems from a petition written by Mr. Jimoh Atofolaki where he alleged that Taiwo Oluwatimilehin Ezekiel, who was an apprentice under him and stationed at the Oshogbo branch of his  company, diverted the company’s goods including bags of  cement and other building materials worth N250,000,000:00. Investigations revealed that Taiwo conspired with Airat Opeyemi Rahman to convert the goods and used the proceeds for gambling.

The Commissioner of Police in charge of Police Special Fraud Unit Lagos, CP Okunade Ronke Nurat, fsi, urges members of the public to be wary and always ensure that they carry out a thorough background checks before employing individuals to take charge of their businesses.
