In a
related development, the Commission also
arraigned one Kayode Adeyefa before Justice A. D Oladimeji of the
Osun State High Court, sitting at Ila- Orangun on a 4-count charge bordering on
obtaining money under false pretences and stealing.
The accused
person was alleged to have diverted the sum of N12, 559,800.00 belonging to the
Osun State College of Education Student Insurance Welfare Scheme to his
personal use.
Adeyefa
collected 15 cheques to the tune of
N12,559,800.00 from the scheme as
premium but failed to remit same to the insurance company where he works.
One
of the charge reads: "Kayode Adeyefa between the Months of June and
November, 2013 at Ila-Orangun within the Osogbo Judicial Division with intent
to defraud obtained the sum of N3,650,000.00 (Three Million Six Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Naira) from Osun State College of Education, Ila-Orangun under
the false pretence that same was premium payment for Student Insurance Welfare
Scheme''.
He
however pleaded not guilty to the charge.
In view of
his plea, the prosecution counsel, Sanusi Musa Galadanchi asked for a
trial date and prayed the court to give the matter accelerated hearing.
But the
defense counsel, Olajide E. Egbetunde informed the court that he had filed bail
application and sought the leave of the court to move the motion.
Justice
Oladimeji granted the accused person bail in the sum of five million Naira and
2 sureties in like sum.
The
matter was adjourned to November 25, 2016 for hearing.
