The Ekiti State Police Command has arraigned a 45-year-old man, Tope Oladipo, before an Ado-Ekiti Magistrate’s Court over an alleged N9 million fraud involving the purported sale of a vehicle.
Oladipo was brought before the court on a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence and fraudulent conversion; all allegations he pleaded not guilty to.
The Prosecutor, Inspector Elijah Adejare, told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the offences alongside others still at large on November 11, 2025, within the Ado-Ekiti Magisterial District.
Adejare alleged that the suspect deceived one Rotimi Babatunde into paying N9 million on the promise of purchasing a 2013 model Hyundai car, which was never delivered.
