The trial of Ovaioza Yunusa  who was allegedly involved in N2 billion scam has been adjourned till July 12, 2023.

The charge reads, “That you, Imu Yunusa, Goodness Omeiza and Ovaioza Farm Produce Storage Business, all of No. 27, Abeokuta Street, Area 8, Garki, Abuja, on or between 2020 and 2022, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did commit felony to wit: lured and offered for subscription an unregistered collective investment scheme worth over N2 billion to the unsuspecting general public. You, thereby, committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 54 of the Investments and Securities Act, 2007.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“That you did commit a felony to wit: conspiracy of forming a common intention among yourselves, together with your staff, to do an illegal act – diversion of investment funds worth over N2 billion belonging to the investing public. You, thereby, committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 516 of the Criminal Code Act, laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.”
