Deji of Akure's brother, Mr Gboyega Tifase Adesida is in EFCC net for conversion, obtaining by false pretence and conversion in relation to a N10M worth of cars he allegedly collected from the Shittus in Lagos under guise and false pretence of facilitating the sale and remittance of the proceeds of sale of the 5 vehicles. He also stand accused of issuing a dud cheque in contravention of the Criminal Procedure Act.
We gathered Mr Adesida took delivery of the vehicles as agreed, moved the vehicles to Ibadan and disappeared into thin air for close to 5-months! It was so shocking and distressful to the Shittus, the principal, whom entrusted him with the vehicles. During the imbroglio, Mr Adesida further committed another blunder and offence by issuing a dud cheque to the Shittus. The cheque predictably bounced on presentation.
At the time of filing this report, Mr Adesida is cooling his heels with the EFCC. It was a Tom and Jerry chase lasting about 5 months before Mr Adesida was eventually apprehended.
It will be recalled that Mr Adesida was formerly resident in the United States before relocating to Nigeria, Ibadan. The vehicles were given to him on trust. He may also face charges relating to breach of trust, criminal conversion, evasion of arrest and obtaining by false pretence.
We shall keep you posted on further developments.
