One Mutiat Adio, who is a former Deputy Chief Registrar of the Oyo State High Court, has been sentenced to three years imprisonment for presenting a dud cheque for the purchase of a vehicle, a 2000 Toyota Pathfinder SUV, valued at N1,500,000 from one Fabunmi Samuel of Fatai Olanrewaju Motors with a cheque of that value.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibadan Zonal Office, said on Monday that it secured Adio’s conviction last Friday. Adio was sentenced after pleading guilty to a fresh charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretences and issuance of a dud cheque, contrary to Section 419 of the Criminal Code Law, Cap. 38, Laws of Oyo State 2000 and Section 1 (1) (b) of the Dishonored Cheque (Offences) Act, Cap. D11, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004. The court also ordered her to restitute to the victim the sum of N500,000, in addition to the sum of N1,000,000 she had previously paid.
