The convict ran into trouble when the Commission received a petition on 7th March, 2023 by one Oluwayemisi Samuel against an unknown individual, alleging that the person fraudulently transferred the cumulative sum of N4,600,000 and N1,000,000.00 from her account and that of her son Samuel Joshua using stolen phones.
Under investigation, it was discovered that the eldest son of the petitioner named Hezekiah Samuel transferred the cumulative sum of N4, 900,000 into a betting wallet but lost the money. The complainant and the defendaant then decided to conspire between themselves to make false allegations, saying that the money was stolen from their purportedly stolen phones to mislead the Commission.
