Adeshola, who reportedly paraded himself as the director, Corporate and Management Service, Amazon Inc., entered into a contract with Atkan Services Nigeria Limited for the purchase of 50 units of flats in different locations within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The Head, Media and Publicity of EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said the suspect subsequently presented a Deutsche Bank, ‘bank draft’ number 081758 in the sum of $19,930,900 (about N3.29 billion) purportedly drawn by Deutsche Bank in favour of Infinity Trust Savings and Loans Limited.
This criminal act was made known to EFCC by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) following the report received from Stanbic IBTC about the forged bank draft they refused to pay.
Uwujaren said the suspect would be charged as soon as investigation was concluded Adeshola had earlier been arrested and prosecuted by EFCC for claiming to be an Assistant Commissioner of Police seconded by the commission to the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), to cleanse the rot in the agency.
He also claimed to be Head of the EFCC Chairman’s Monitoring Unit and was arraigned in court on a seven-count charge border-ing on forgery, impersonation and obtaining by false pretence before Justice Usaini Baba Yusuf of the FCT High Court, Abuja. Yusuf, however, struck out the charges on the grounds that they were not related to financial crimes, a ruling that has since been challenged at the appellate court by the EFCC.
