Man dupes his brother-in-law of N9.1m

A man who trusted his brother-in-law and gave him a huge amount of money to help him purchase a vehicle.


  A 38-year-old man, Olumide Ogunbolude, has been arrested and charged to court by detectives from the Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba, Lagos State, on three counts of fraud, stealing and issuance of a dud cheque, after it was established that he defrauded his brother-in-law, Taiwo Elegbede , of the sum of N9, 105,000 million which was given to him for the purchase of a Range Rover vehicle.
It was gathered that Ogunbolude was introduced by his sister who is married to Elegbede, as a car dealer and believing him to be family, Elegbede gave the suspect an initial sum of $39,500, with an additional N1.6 million to buy the car for him

 Ogunbolude has neither produced the vehicle nor the money, causing friction between his sister and her husband and when he was confronted, he allegedly pleaded for time to refund the money and when he could still not meet up, he reportedly issued his in-law a bounced cheque.
After waiting patiently, the complainant reported the matter to the police and Ogubolude was arrested and charged to court.

when the charges were read to him, the suspect pleaded not guilty and the Chief Magistrate, I.O. Adelaja, admitted him to bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum while adjourning the case till November 18, 2015, for hearing.
