The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arraigned one Charity Komuo and her company, Charity Luba Consultancy, before the Delta State High Court in Asaba for breaching the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act.
Her arrest followed a petition from one Anthony Afisi that Komuo defrauded his family of 6,900 United States dollars under the pretence she would help one Ufuoma Afisi secure admission into a University in Ukraine, a promise that she failed to keep. Several other persons were also allegedly defrauded by Charity and her company in the same way.
Ms. Komuo was charged with eight counts of obtaining money by false pretences contrary to section 1 (3) and 8 (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offence Act.
The presiding judge, Mr. C O Ogisi, ordered the accused to be remanded in prison custody. Hearing of the bail application will be heard on July 26, 2012.
