Mr. Benjamin Onyeabo, is a lawyer said to be 48 years old, has been remanded at Oke Kura
prison yard in Ilorin for swindling one
of his clients a sum of #11.6 million. Onyeabo was said to have carried out
this nefarious act in connection with one Dominic Ochi.
According to the source, Barrister Benjamin Onyeabo forged
several documents that belonged to his client to claim a payment that was meant
for his client. His client won the court case and the said money was meant for
him but, Onyeabo in connection with Ochi forged the man's document, got the
money out in December 2014 and refused to give it to his client.
Despite the fact that lawyer Onyeabo pleaded not guilty to
this charge, the Judge who presided over the case, M.A Adeyanju ordered that he
should be remanded at Oke Kura prison in Ilorin, while the case was adjourned
to next month.
