A magistrate court sitting in Ado-Ekiti has ordered the remand of one Muhammed Ado Musa, 40, at the correctional centre in Ado-Ekiti, over an alleged fraudulent transfer of N2million.
Police Prosecutor, Inspector Bamikole Olasunkanmi, yesterday asked the court to order the remand of the defendant, having transferred funds from the bank account of one Mrs Abiodun Olufunmilayo.
Olasunkanmi said the offence is punishable under Section 36(1) and 36(2) of Cybercrime (prohibition) Act 2015.
The defendant was arrested in Kano on August 28, 2021.
He urged the court to allow him to duplicate the case file and send it to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) for legal advice.
The Magistrate, Mr Abdulhamid Lawal, ordered the remand of the defendant at the correctional centre in Ado-Ekiti pending legal advice from the DPP.
Magistrate Lawal later adjourned the matter until November 14, 2021.
