Film actor, Jim Iyke, 35, was on Thursday arraigned before an Abuja Chief Magistrates' Court charged with N15 million fraud.
The Police Prosecutor, Mr Chijoke Okezie, told the court that on Aug. 8, Habiba Abubakar wrote a petition to the Inspector General of Police (IG) to investigate the fraud.
He said that investigation into the case revealed that the accused, a resident of Sunnyville Estate, Abuja, deceived Abubakar into acquiring 15 per cent equity shares to the tune of N15 million from his company, Untamed Records Ltd.Okezie said the accused admitted that the complainant paid the money into his Oceanic Bank account No. 00500173691, deviating from his initial plan of investment and converted the money to his personal use.
He added that when the complainant confronted the accused, he resorted to beating her and threatened to kill her.
Okezie said the accused was charged with criminal breach of trust, criminal force, assault, cheating and criminal misappropriation which contravened sections 312,265,322 397 and 309 of the Penal Code.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Counsel to the accused, Esther Uzoma, made an oral bail application for the accused in pursuit of section 341(2) of the Criminal Procedural Code.
She prayed the court to grant the accused bail on liberal terms and for self recognition, and promised that the accused would not jump bail.
However, Okezie objected to the bail application, saying that investigation into the case was not completed, and that criminal breach of trust was not ordinarily billable.
Chief Magistrate Okeagu Azubike, said that the bail application had merit and granted the accused bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He ordered that the sureties must be responsible Nigerians who must reside within the jurisdiction of the court.
He adjourned the case to Dec. 9, to enable the police complete their investigation.

Jim Iyke is a bloody disgrace !!!
Jim Iyke is another Baba Suwe of Nigeria's entertainment industry.
Jim Iyke has tarnished the image of Nollywood and brought disrepute to the reputation of Nigeria's entertainment industry. I hope Jim Iyke does not spend 25th December 2011 in prison for 419 fraud. I hope Jim Iyke is not jailed for life or sent to the gas chamber. Remember all his stupid bragging on Twitter? Remember his Untamed Clothing Empire business? Remember his shopping trips around the world? Remember his business trips to USA, Dubai, Turkey, etc? Remember his so called charity foundation? His ex-girlfriend said it was a scam. She said use the charity as a money making front which he set up to make money for himself. Now, you all know where he got the money to buy this second hand cars. They should confiscate his assets and freeze his bank accounts until he pays back the money he too. lol

Oh lawd. I feel sorry for Jim. He has played into people's hand and they will lay into him. I think he will get over 100 abuse (comments). Pride does go before a fall. Untamed Clothing / Untamed 419 Clothing.

HOLY $NICKERS!!!
"The N15 Million (Midnight / Booty Call) Heist"
Starring Jim Iyke.
Real criminal, Take one, take two, take three ... take N15 million. ACTION !!!
Jim Iyke, serves you right. She paid you. You couldn't satisfy her. She's asked for 100% refund. Pay up fast fast or you'd be picking up soap in prison bathroom full of sex starved gay men.
A lot of you guys are ridiculously bitter and miserable. Its why most of you will not become anything in life. Like seriously can we get both sides of the story or at least let the case close and we hear the outcome before casting stones. I personally think Jim is cocky arrogant bastard but that does not give me a right to judge this "hearsay" based on what one side has stated and what one blogger written. Gosh naija assoles just full everywhere
Let's not be too quick to comment about Jim Iyke's source of wealth. This whole thing is pussy and prick arrangement now. Abeg let them sort themselves out. Jim, I advice you to get a good lawyer.
...on the court date she just needs to print off evidence from the internet to show how he spent her monies.. shopping trip to prada, exotic cars, another shopping trip to gucci...lol at least he ll b the best dressed man in jail...lol
Most comments here have already concluded that the man is guilty. Naija people don craze oh!
Wow!!! see comments. not surprised at all. when i saw the story i knew people were not going to be nice after he bragged about getting two cars.
like someone said, 'pride cometh before fall'
Linda! I dnt care if u dont post my comment, cos even if d world dnt get 2 c it, u hav! Which is just more dan enof, atleast av aired my views and said my piece of mind, guess its beta dan just not sayin nothin. Love uuuu**
u people talk too much wait till they prove him bad ooooooo... na woooow for nigerians
When people say they are deceived I laugh. How can a fellow adult deceive you if you didn't have your own selfish interest. The matter is not even over everybody is condemning the guy. Time will tell.
I jst hope is not true, because i will be disappointed he is my best star
I knew Jim Iyke or whatever he called himself is full of hot air and no substance when i heard about all his bragging. The guy is just another Yahoo Yahoo boy who's time is running out. If you want to do big boy, at least have some brain or substance. Linda, this is what you gave Nigerians to read about?? About Dupes and thieves.
Hello Mr Jim Iyke...What's taking you so long to respond to these allegations?? Abi Your Tweeter don mess up ni?? Abi the Judge don revoke the tweeter too??
Jim Iyke is worse than a rougue trader.He thinks he is david Beckam or even Brad Pitt.he will have time to cool down in prison.Perhaps all his girlfriends must have deserted him by now.If he was a bit sensible to get a wife with his stolen money, she would have stood by him.
Nollywood is primitive indstry with no real chance of civilization with the likes of Mr Iyke.
The Plot thickens..let's hear Jim's side..ain't this the same chic who said Jim beat her up sometime back?
@BadAzzX
Naijas and backwardness....How dare any of you conclude on this matter without hearing both sides of the story or at least getting real evidence from Habibat. Let us be fair and not judge this man hjust becos we are hating on him or we don't like his character. Naijas are judgemental bastards sha
puff puff lips.
puff puff lips.
Jim always takes advantage of rich chics. i knew sooner or later one of these chics go talk....next thing he will send his hood rats to debunk d gist. always d same script with Jim and woman money. Greedy JIM! na wah!
Some ppl sha carry dis case for head like face cap.. And wot has baba suwe got to do wt dis? Na wa oooo..
Well to me Jim must have something to say atleast its not a case of obtaining by tricks (OBT). They both must have some sort of agreement. So let wait and hear his part of the story.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahai just cant stop laffing yall, when he went to was it chicago and bought all them shoes he bought, it was actually with a stolen money. shameeeeeeeeeee on uuuuu... i so dont like this dude mehn... not interested.. NEXT PLS..
na wa oh! when folks living big, u gotta ask where the loot coming from. But we are so caught up in the flash in Nigeria no one asks questions.
its really a case of love gone sour, from what i read in naijapals a friend of the lady habiba said she expected jim to marry her and instead he called off the r/ship... a lesson to women with money who think that is all they need to trap a man into marriage...he will only use you, get all he needs and move on. unfortunately it has happened and will teach young men not to promise what they cant deliver, same goes for our women
Mmmmmmmmmmm, not surprised.
bros jim abeg u try, u steal d dough from her hand? no bi market she wan buy and she don buy d market now she go must pay, abi ooo? mama abaiba abi na wetin bi ur name? u no like d tin,sorry d market wen bros jim dey sell? make una no quarrel. continue on d besines cos wen una start am no body know. una dooooo!
