The couple was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,

They were arraigned alongside Food Commodity Processing Enterprise, Bonway Food Processing Company Limited, Samee Idowu Company Limited and Farmex Integrated Companies Limited, which all belong to Ruth Idowu.


Count one reads: "Ruth Sameeha  Idowu , aka Loiry Ventures, Oriyomi Kabeer  Idowu, aka Yocli Ventures, Food Commodity Processing Enterprise, Bonway Food Processing Company Ltd., Samee Idowu Company Limited, Farmex Integrated Companies Limited, between 31st of March 2022 and 17th of May 2023 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, conspired amongst yourselves by false pretence that you had a genuine Local Purchase Order (LPO) from various vendors and with intent to defraud, obtained from Creditpro Business Support Services Ltd the sum of N2,757,188,000.00 ((Two Billion, Seven Hundred and Fifty Seven Million,

Responding, Babatunde Ogala, SAN, informed the court that he came prepared for the trial. He, however, added that ā€œIt was only this morning, while seated here, that I was informed that the witness is not here and that they are not ready to go on; and so, will seek an adjournment.ā€


The counsel to the first defendan ,James Alara also aligned with Ogala.  He further urged the court to take notice that the stalling of the proceedings was at the instance of the prosecution.


Apologising for the development, Mohammed prayed the court for a short adjournment.


Consequently, Justice Dada adjourned the case till February 2, 2024.
