An Iwaro Oka Magistrates Court has remanded a 72-year-old man, Adeyemi Kehinde, in a correctional facility for allegedly swindling a young man, Ayinde Daniel, under the guise of securing a recruitment slot with a fictitious ‘USA EFCC’.

The septuagenarian was dragged before Magistrate B.A. Ikusika on a two-count charge bordering on fraud and obtaining money under false pretence.

Police revealed that Kehinde committed the offences on two occasions, first at about 1:43 pm on March 24, 2025, and later at about 3:28 pm on March 27, 2025, at Araromi Quarters in Akungba-Akoko, within the jurisdiction of the Akungba Akoko Magisterial District.

According to The Hope, the Prosecutor, Inspector Boboye Olasunkanmi, who asked for a brief adjournment, informed the court that the defendant had a history of committing similar offences.

The charge contravenes Section 419 of the Criminal Code, Cap 37, Vol. 1, Laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.

Counsel to the defendant, Prince T.M. Agbede, prayed the court to grant his client bail on liberal terms.

However, Magistrate Ikusika declined the bail request and ordered the remand of Kehinde to a custodial centre.

Ikusika adjourned the case till May 15, 2025.
