Lagos Welder Remanded for Alleged N3 Million Roller Shutter Gate Scam

A 48-year-old welder from Ajah, Lagos, has been remanded at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre over an alleged N3 million fraud. He is accused of collecting the money to fabricate and install a roller shutter gate but failed to deliver. Operatives of the Maroko Police Division arrested the suspect after the complainant, Managing Director of ACE Finishing Company Limited, reported that the welder switched off his phone and went into hiding. Detectives traced and apprehended him in Lekki. At Igbosere Magistrate’s Court, the defendant pleaded not guilty to obtaining money by false pretence under Section 314 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State. He was granted bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties of the same amount. The case was adjourned for further hearing.
