The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arraigned a driver,
Chinwoke Onyedinazu before Justice M. A. Liman of the Federal High Court
sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for duping a Briton, Paul H., the sum
of One Hundred and Eighty Two Thousand, Sixty Four Pounds, Ninety Nine
Shillings (182, 064.99).
He was docked on a nine- count charge bordering on obtaining
by false pretense. Onyedinazu was a former driver of Mr. Paul while he was
residing in Nigeria. In 2014, Onyedinazu reportedly proposed a fish farming
business to the Briton and the latter accepted the proposal.
He later relocated to his country but kept faith with the
business idea of his former driver and transferred the sum of 182,064.99 Pounds
(equivalent of N60,000,000 at that time) to Onyedinazu. However, the driver
never pursued the business proposed to Henderson but diverted the money into
his own use.
