Nollywood producer, Seun Egbegbe has been arrested
alongside two others, Olalekan Yusuf, and Muyideen
Shoyombo after they were implicated by Egbagbe, alleging
that they took part in carrying out criminal activities with
them.
Seun Egbegbe who was arrested with one Oyekan Ayomide
in February for attempting to dupe Alhaji Isa Adamu
pleaded not guilty to a 40-count charge when they were
arraigned. They have since been held in prison custody as
they were unable to perfect their bail condition.
Following the arrest of the three new suspect, the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID)
of the Lagos State Police Command on Monday presented
an amended charge before Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo of
the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos to enable the police
to arraign the suspects arrested in connection with the
criminal offenses levied against Olajide Oluwaseun
Kareem, popularly known as Seun Egbegbe.
According to the amended charge sheet, the three were
involved only in counts one and two, which accused them
of conspiring to obtain the sum of N2,450,000 and 3,000
pounds sterling from one Alhaji Isa Adamu.
The offenses contravened the provisions of section 8 of
the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences
Act, 2006.
Kareem who spoke to reporters when he was paraded at
the police command in Ikeja denied his involvement in his
brother’s criminal acts, adding that Mr. Egbegbe only
wanted to incriminate him.
He also said that Mr. Egbegbe sent him a text while in
prison custody.
'On the day Seun was arrested at Ikeja, it was my boss
that told me that he saw the story on Facebook and went
to Area F to see him,' Mr. Kareem said.
'But after then, he was charged to court and I didn’t go to
see him, only for me to receive an SMS from him saying
that he heard I was partying while he was languishing in
prison,” he added.
However, Seun Egbegbe still has an outstanding iPhone
theft case, which was adjourned to sometime in April
2017.
