N11.79b scam: Court to orders banks to provide Ajetunmobis’ account statements

 

A Lagos High Court in Ikoyi yesterday ordered all commercial banks to furnish it with comprehensive statements of account of Imagine Global Holding Company Limited, Imagine Global Solutions Limited and a couple, Bamise and Elizabeth Ajetunmobi within seven days.

Justice Oyekan-Abdullahi made the order sequel to a motion filed and argued by the plaintiff’s counsel Adetunji Adedoyin-Adeniyi of AAA Chambers.

The two firms and the Ajetunmobi couple have been associated with an N11,795,090,000 investment scam, by the claimants/applicants who are aggrieved Nigerian investors.

According to the plaintiffs’ motion, the N11.795b is the outstanding investments and return on investments accruing to them from the defendants.

Adeniji, in urging the court to grant the application, argued that the reports the banks had already provided were faulty and could not be relied on.

He prayed for an order compelling the banks to furnish the court and serve the claimants’ counsel and Central Bank of Nigeria {CBN} not later than seven days from the date of receipt of the order of the court.

The items the banks are to provide include comprehensive statements of account of the 1st – 4th defendants from the 1st of January, 2020 till date and all the statements of account linked with BVN: 22168443525 {3rd Defendant} and BVN:22141952749 {4th Defendant}.
