He said the accused collected N550, 000 on the pretext of letting a mini-flat to the complainant as the owner of the property.
“Akinyemi pretended to be the owner of a mini-flat and collected the sum of N550, 000 from the complainant, Mr Ayodele Ayedun, with a promise to rent out the mini-flat to him. “Awosika brought
Ayedun to the blindman to make payment, and he was caught while making a transaction at the bank.’’ Iseghede said the virtually-impaired man had been brought to the court several times for the same offence.
The offences, he noted, contravened Sections 285, 312 (a&b), 315 and 409 of the Criminal Law of
Lagos State, 2011. Ruling on the bail application of the accused, the Chief Magistrate, Mrs A.F. Adeeyo, granted them bail in the sum of N100, 000 each with one surety each. She said each surety should provide evidence of tax payment, while their addresses should also be verified. The magistrate adjourned the case to Aug.6 for mention.
