Musiliu Obanikoro, And Four Other Individuals Has Been Set For February 27,

Lawsuit. They Are Charged With Five Counts: Fraud, False Representation,
Conspiracy, And Acquiring Under False Pretenses.
The Arraignment Was Postponed By Justice
Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa On January 24 Due To The Defendants' Nonattendance. Using
Proof Of Service, Prosecuting Attorney Momoh Bello Asked For A Bench Warrant

Impossible Due To Late Serving And Insufficient Information.

That The First And Second Defendants, Who Are Natural People, Had Not Been
Properly Served. The Court Ordered The Prosecution To Regularize Service For
All Parties, Even Though Service Was Verified For The Third And Fourth
Defendants, Both Of Whom Were Businesses.
The Charges Are Based On Claims Made By The Inspector General Of Police,
Through The Special Fraud Unit In Ikoyi, Lagos, That The Defendants Planned To
