EFCC prosecutes woman for allegedly issuing N50m dud cheques
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced the prosecution of an Abuja-based businesswoman, Mrs Joy Folake Yobah for allegedly issuing dud cheques valued at N50million to a business partner.
It will be recalled that Mrs Yobah, Managing Director of Skyhigh Ventures Ltd, was earlier this year arraigned before Justice Sylvanus Oriji of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Apo, Abuja on a 5-count charge, to which she pleaded not guilty.
The court, on September 19, 2016 admitted some documentary exhibits tendered by prosecution lawyer, Dalyop Eunice. They include report of the investigation, the alleged dud cheques and the defendant’s statement.
