The Chairman of Ogun State Amalgamated Motorcycles and Riders Association, AMORAN, Chief Taofiq Sokoya, alias Danku will have to explain to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC about what he knows concerning an alleged N30m fraud.
His former Principal, Chief Nurudeen Aina, alias Alowonle has dragged him before the anti-graft Agency for alleged fraud.
This is contained in a letter written to the EFCC by Chief Nurudeen Aina’s lawyer, Bamidele Ogundele.
In the letter dated February 3, 2025, Mr. Ogundele alleged that his client instructed Chief Sokoya to assist in selling his property consisting of a Duplex and two self-contained flats at GRA Quarters, Ewuga Street, Sagamu, Ogun State for N40 million naira.
He stated further that on July 15, 2024, the property was sold for the sum of N40million naira to a third party by Chief Sokoya.
He however claimed that Chief Sokoya only remitted the sum of N30m to Chief Nurudeen’s account and converted N30m for his personal use.
According to him, Chief Sokoya bought a vehicle from the proceed of the alleged crime.
Mr. Ogundele alleged further that Chief Sokoya also reassigned the property to another person known as Segun Soyebi alias Oscar for N45million naira and still held on to his client N30million up till date.
The petition stated further that the case was reported to the Special Fraud Unit, SFU and the EFCC, but the said Chief Sokoya keeps dropping the name of the Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, claiming he is well connected and the anti-grant agencies are incapacitated over the matter.
To this end, Mr. Ogundele is appealing to the Ogun State Governor to call Chief Sokoya to order and allow unfettered investigation into the matter.
“Our client has absolute confidence in your transparency and zero tolerance for criminality and brigandage,” the petition to the state government reads.
