EFCC Arraigns Brothers for Alleged Illegal Bank Operation

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Adewale Jayeoba and Emmanuel Jayeoba, two brothers before the Federal High Court in Lagos for allegedly operating a bank without a valid license.
The EFCC docked the brothers before Justice Nicholas Oweibo alongside their firm, Wales Kingdom Capital Limited, on a two count-charge of conspiracy and fraud.
Chineye Okezie, EFCC counsel, told the judge that the defendants committed the offence in Lagos between October 2019 and December 2020.
Okezie also claimed that the offences violated sections 2(2) and 49(1) of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act, Cap B3, Vol.2, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
After their pleas were taken, Olaniyi George, defence counsel, informed the court that he has filed applications for bail on behalf of his clients and that copies of the applications have been served on the prosecution.
But the prosecutor told the court that she was served with the applications in court and that she will need a short adjournment to enable her to file a counter affidavit bail application.
Based on the development, Justice Oweibo adjourned the matter to August 10 and also ordered that the defendants be remanded in EFCC’s custody pending the hearing and determination of the bail application.
The charge reads: “That you, Wales Kingdom Capital Limited sometime between October 2019 to December 2020 in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court did carry on banking business without a valid license and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 2(2) of the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act, Cap B3, Vol.2, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

SEC Probes Ponzi Scheme Linked to FF Tiffany

The Securities and Exchange Commission has revealed plans to commence investigation into the activities of an entity operating under FF Tiffany, allegedly running a fraudulent investment scheme that has defrauded citizens.
A statement by the SEC on Tuesday in Abuja said preliminary information revealed that the scheme, which promised investors unusually high and unrealistic returns, had resulted in the loss of several billions of naira.
The SEC said it viewed the activity as a threat to investor confidence and the overall integrity of the financial system.
The commission assured the public that it was working closely with law enforcement agencies and other relevant bodies to bring everyone involved in the unlawful operation to justice.
According to SEC, those found culpable will be prosecuted in accordance with the Investment and Securities Act and regulatory provisions.
SEC reiterated its earlier warnings to the general public to desist from engaging in Ponzi or unregistered investment schemes that promised guaranteed or exaggerated returns.
“These schemes are not registered with the SEC and do not offer investor protection under the law.
“The commission is currently investigating 79 schemes and will make a statement on its findings at the conclusion of the investigation,” the SEC said.
The commission encouraged investors to conduct due diligence and verify the registration status of any investment firm or product by visiting the SEC website or contacting the commission directly through official channels.
SEC said it remained committed to its mandate of protecting investors, ensuring fair practices, and maintaining confidence in Nigeria’s capital market.
