In a developing fraud case, a 37-year-old man, Agbetan Kola, was on November 17, 2025, brought before the Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun for allegedly securing N3 million through deception.
The fraud case involves accusations that Kola obtained the money from a complainant, Raphael Sikiru, under the guise of installing solar inverters. According to the prosecutor, ASP E.O. Adaraloye, the alleged offence occurred on July 7 in the Asore area of Ota.
Adaraloye stated that the defendant allegedly diverted the funds for personal use and supplied fake inverters instead of completing the agreed installation. The fraud case is tied to three counts: fraud, stealing, and obtaining money by false pretence.
The charges, the prosecutor noted, violate Sections 390, 419 and 452 of the Ogun State Criminal Code Law (2006).
Magistrate O.O. Fadairo granted Kola bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties in the same amount. The court ordered that the sureties must reside within its jurisdiction, maintain lawful employment and present proof of tax payment to the Ogun State Government.
The fraud case was adjourned to November 26, 2025, for further hearing.
