The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibadan Zonal Directorate, has arraigned Yusuf Oyepeju alongside his two companies—Alwajeez International Nigeria Limited and AIN Homes and Property Limited—before Justice Olusola Adetujoye of the Oyo State High Court.
The defendants face a six-count charge bordering on forgery, document uttering, stealing by conversion, and obtaining money under false pretences to the tune of ₦13,697,900.
The prosecution alleges that Oyepeju defrauded a Dubai-based Nigerian Islamic cleric, Fasasi Bayonle, whom he met on a religious WhatsApp group.
After being allowed temporary residence in Bayonle's Ibadan house, Oyepeju allegedly forged land transfer documents, sold the property to his own companies, and converted ₦8.6 million intended for new land acquisition.
The defendant pleaded "not guilty" and was remanded at the Agodi Correctional Centre pending his bail hearing.
"That you, Yusuf Oyepeju... between February and August, 2020... converted to your own personal use, the sum of N8,697,900.00, property of one Fasasi Bayonle, thereby committed an offence of stealing by conversion..." — EFCC Charge Sheet
