Alleged N816.3m Fraud: Absence of Defence Counsel Stalls Trial of Indian In Lagos

Admin December 15, 2022

Dec. 15, 2022

The trial of one Chandra Singh, an Indian, for an alleged N816, 361,386.75 fraud before Justice I.O. Ijelu of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos could not continue as scheduled on Thursday, due to the absence of the defence counsel, Hassan Olanrewaju.

According the EFCC in a statement on Thursday, Singh was, on November 24, 2022, arraigned on a 19-count charge bordering on retention of stolen property and bribery by the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The alleged offences are contrary to Section 328 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011, and Section 83 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.
