Justice R.A. Oshodi of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday, April 3, 2023, admitted in evidence more documents tendered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, against one Kolawole Adedayo Erinle, alongside his firm, Rinde-Remdex Nigeria Limited.
Erinle and his company are standing trial on a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy, retention of proceeds of criminal conduct, and obtaining money under false pretence to the tune of $1,410,000 (One Million Four-Hundred and Ten Thousand United States Dollars).
They were previously arraigned before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos on March 11, 2022.
However, the trial could not commence before the retirement of Justice Taiwo, thereby prompting the re-assignment of the case to Justice Oshodi.
Subsequently, the case began de novo on October 28, 2022.
The defendant is alleged to have defrauded the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, KCUMB, in the United States of about $1,412,509 USD.
He, again, pleaded “not guilty” to the charges when he was arraigned before Justice Oshodi.
