A Lagos-based prophetess, Linda Mabi-Praise, has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for allegedly defrauding a company of N25m in an alleged Automotive Gas Oil deal.
Mabi-Praise, who is said to be a prophetess at the Temple of Praise Church on Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere, Lagos, was arraigned before a Lagos State Special Offences Court on eight counts bordering on stealing, obtaining under false pretences and issuance of dud cheques.
Ofoma said, “On April 4, 2017, the defendants fraudulently obtained the sum of N80m from Tophara Ventures Nigeria Limited by falsely representing to the company that the money was for diesel importation. Ofoma added that the prophetess and her firm, with intent to defraud, had on May 3, 2017, issued three United Bank for Africa Plc cheques to Tophara Ventures.
The offences, according to the anti-graft agency, also contravene Section 1 of the Dishonoured Cheques and Other Related Offences Act, 2004.
