A 43-year old woman, Odunayo Adebayo, has been arrested and charged before the Court in Lagos State for allegedly swindling one Olabitan Shola to the tune of the sum of N30m under false pretences.
P.M.EXPRESS reports the incident happened at Magbo area of Badagry in Lagos where Odunayo reportedly obtained the money from Shola for an undisclosed transaction.
Having lost the whopping sum of money, Shola reported to the Commissioner of the Police, who ordered for the investigation over the matter through the Crack Team. She was trailed, arrested and detained for interrogation over the allegation.
During interrogation, Odunayo reportedly admitted to have obtained the said money from Shola and offered to refund the money to him by issuing two Access Bank cheques of N10m and N11m, which were not honoured when the complainant went to the bank to collect the money.
However, it turned out that the Access Bank cheques with numbers 00053402094 and 00053402093 respectively, which Odunayo had given to Shola were said to be fake because there was no money in the account.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. B.O. Osunsanmi, granted her bail and ordered her remand in the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when she will perfect her bail conditions.
The matter was adjourned till 26th July, 2022, for mention
