For allegedly defrauding Mrs Oyetoro Omolade 100 bags of rice valued N2m, one Adesanmi Adeyera, (42), was Thursday, docked at an Osun State Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ile-Ife.
The Prosecutor, Sgt Elijah Adesina, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on June 20, 2020 at about 5:30 pm at Oja-Tuntun, in Ile-Ife.
Adesina said that the defendant fraudulently obtained 100 bags of rice valued N2m, from Oyetoro Omolade under false pretence of paying her for the goods within five days which turned out to be false.
