EFCC arraigns suspected visa racketeer - The Nation Nigeria

A suspected visas racketeer, Yomi Samson, was on Monday, arraigned before Justice Joyce Abdumalik of the Federal High Court 2, Ibadan, on a three-count charge bordering on possession of fake documents, obtaining money under false pretence and misleading an officer of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .

Samson , was dragged before the court by officers of the Ibadan Zonal office of the commission, after interrogating him, based on a petition from one of his victims. Part of the charge against him as contained in the document before the court reads: “That you Yomi Samson sometimes in 2019, at Ibadan, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to mislead, knowingly made false statement, wherein you lied to an officer of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission about your true age and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 39 and punishable under Section 39 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act, 2004.

”Though, he pleaded not guilty to the charges, the defendant later opted to enter into a plea bargain with the EFCC, prompting his lawyer, Kehinde Olawumi, to ask for a date to come for the final decision, rather than go for full trial.
