The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, yesterday, arraigned Pastor Nimi West
and his company, Nimak and Company Nigeria Limited before Justice U.N. Agumoh
of the Federal High Court Port Harcourt, Rivers State on a 4-count charge of
obtaining money under false pretence to the tune of N22.4 million. Mr. West is
alleged to have received the said amount from one Emmanuel Dike at different
times in 2013 as payment for a bungalow at D/Line, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
However, the complainant later discovered that the property had been sold to
another person while his efforts to recover his money did not succeed. West
pleaded not guilty to the charge when read to him. One of the counts reads:
“That Nimi West ‘m’ on or about the 13th day of September in Port Harcourt,
within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, with intent to defraud
deceitfully obtained the sum of N4, 400,000.00 from one Architect Emmanuel
Dike, a Nigerian citizen, under false pretence that you were going to sell a
property in Port Harcourt to him, a pretext which you knew to be false and you
fraudulently made it, with the intent that he may believed it, and he believed
it and acted upon it as genuine, and you thereby committed an offence contrary
to section 1 (1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act
2006 and punishable by section 1(3) of the same Act”. In view of his plea, the
prosecution counsel, C.A.Okoli applied for a date for the commencement of trial
while the defence counsel C.B.Osita made an oral application for bail of the
accused to enable him attend to his health. Justice Agumoh granted the accused
bail in the sum of One Million Naira and two sureties in like sum. The case was
adjourned to 17th and 18th of January, 2017 for trial while the accused person is
to be remanded in prison custody until he perfects his bail conditions.
