Internet Fraud: Two Kwara Workers in Trouble over Disappearance of Defendants

Two employees of Kwara State Government, Adenigba M. Olusola, an employee of the State Judicial Service Commission and Bisiriyu Abdulfatai, a staff of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), who stood as sureties for suspects being investigated by the Ilorin Zonal Command of the EFCC for internet- related fraud offences have incurred the wrath of the Court over their failure to produce the suspects for trial.

Adenigba stood as surety for one Amaechi Umenye and Adeyemi Adedeji, while Bisiriyu stood for Dawodu Olusoji. The two civil servants had made an undertaking to produce the defendants who are now at large each time they were needed by the anti-graft agency.

The trio of Amaechi, Adeyemi and Dawodu were amongst the thirty suspected internet fraudsters arrested in Offa, Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State sometime in 2020 by the EFCC for alleged internet fraud.

As investigations progressed in the matter, both Adenigba and Bisiriyu wrote separate bail applications to the Ilorin Zonal Commander of the EFCC, entered bail bonds and promised to produce the defendants anytime their attention was needed.

The suspects after their release, jumped the administrative bail granted them by the Commission while the sureties also could not produce them.
