The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on May 18, 2015 arraigned one Opara Edmund and his wife, Amarachi Opara before Justice O.O Oguntoyinbo of the Federal High Court Owerri, Imo State on a 2-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence. They pleaded not guilty to the charge. The accused persons were alleged to have collected money from one Okechukwu Ogbonna to the tune of Seven Million Naira (N7, 000,000.00) for a phony land deal situated at Federal Low Cost Housing Estate 11 Umuguma New Owerri.It was further revealed that the said land which was sold to Ogbonna does not belong to the couple. Count one reads, “that you Opara Edmund Acho and Opara Amarachi on or about the 9th March, 2012 at Owerri within Owerri Judicial Division conspired between yourselves to commit an offence to wit: obtaining money by false pretence from one Okechukwu Ogbonna and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 8(a) and punishable Under Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offence Act 2006 “.
The second count reads, “ that you Opara Edmund Acho and Opara Amarachi on or about the 9th March, 2012 at Owerri within Owerri Judicial Division with intent to defraud, induced and obtained the sum of N7,000,000.00 (Seven Million Naira ) from one Okechukwu Ogbonna under the false pretence of selling part of a plot of land/property situated at Federal Low Cost Housing Estate Site 11 Umuguma, New Owerri which do not belong to you, the pretext which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(b) and punishable under Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2006”.

So teaming up to sale a land that doesn't belong to them is the cheap way of getting rich now? Wonders without end

Not only young people are fraudster, if a mature couple like this can engage in such act. I wonder what they expect we younger ones to do! #shame
Should this couple be arraigned? Yes. Should the EFCC be wasting the enormous power and resources at its disposal chasing such shadows? NO! The EFCC has become that absurd man in the folklore who is carrying the carcass of a whole elephant on his head, but goes burrowing in the many holes on his way for crickets. Absurd.
This land thing happens a lot

Where is the individual right of the acused untill they are proven guilty ,the law allow them right to privacy.even going to jail they have right to refuse photo pose.must they advertize thier work before proven the case beyound reasonable doubt .nigeria system is full over zealousness.
