The EFCC on Wednesday May 13, 2015 arraigned one Kayode Gabriel Adeniji together with his companies, Kabriel Global Concept Limited and Mide Landmark Ventures Limited in court.
Adeniji was brought before Justice Yusuf Halilu of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Jabi, Abuja on a five- count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust, cheating and fraudulent conversion of property.
The accused are being prosecuted for allegedly defrauding the complainant, Mrs. Christiana Adetola Makanjuola, owner of a parcel of land situated at Plot 19, Gwarimpa 1, Cadastral Zone CO2, Abuja, to the tune of N235 million (Two Hundred and Thirty-Five Million Naira).
Both Adeniji and Makanjuola had initially signed a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, for the development of the property, but the former defaulted, thereby making it impossible for the parties to draw up a proper property agreement.
One of the counts reads:
“That you Kayode Gabriel Adeniji; Kabriel Global Concept Limited and Mide Landmark Ventures Limited on or about January 2013 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did conspire among yourselves to dishonestly convert to your own use proceeds from the sale of fractions of plot number 19 Gwarimpa 1, Cadastral Zone C02, Abuja belonging to Mrs. Christiana Adetola Makanjuola, thereby committed and offence contrary to section 96 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 97 of the same Code.”
The accused person pleaded not guilty to all the charges when they were read to him.
Justice Halilu, however, ordered that the accused be remanded in Kuje Prison pending the determination of the bail application and adjourned the matter to June 8, 2015 for commencement of trial
