An alleged fake lawyer, Mr Aladejobi of Aladejobi and Aladejobi & Co., was on Wednesday nabbed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), operatives at A Special Offences Court presided over by Justice Mojisola Dada.
Eighteen-Eleven Media gathered that the alleged fake lawyer claimed to be a lawyer to one of the sureties to Ismaila Mustapha alias Mompha.
He came to the court with a letter requesting the court proceedings on behalf of his surety.
This was after Justice Dada had given a pronouncement that Mompha be arrested for jumping bail.
Thereafter, EFCC prosecuting counsel Mr Rotimi Oyedepo asked that he should be taken into custody for proper profiling and interrogation.
Earlier Justice Dada issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the embattled suspected internet fraudster who is standing trial before the court.
Mompha is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) along with his company, Ismalob Global Investment Limited on an 8-count charge bordering on conspiracy and money laundering to the tune of over Six Billion Naira ( N6, 000,000,000.00).
The defendant was arrested on 10th January 2022 by the EFCC, arraigned and granted bail.
He failed to appear in court on two scheduled dates for his trial.
During proceedings today, the judge stood down the matter for a while in expectation of the defendant’s arrival, but he failed to appear in court for the continuation of his trial.
The judge revoked the defendant’s bail and ordered his arrest and adjourned till 30th June 30, 2022.
