Meanwhile, the defendant was first arraigned on May 20, 2019, but pleaded not guilty. He secured bail with two sureties.

According to the charge, the defendant committed the offences on different dates. Specifically, these dates were stated as between November 26, 2018, December 11, 2018, and May 10. Additionally, Fashola and his accomplices allegedly conspired to use different Access Bank ATM Cards to defraud their victims.

They allegedly used Access Card number 5264711020433662 issued to other persons; in a bid to obtain fraudulent financial gains.

Meanwhile, Fashola was said to have possessed these counterfeit credit cards, belonging to different cardholders; with intent to defraud, and which also constituted theft.

The offences contravene the provisions of Section 1 23 (1)(b), 27 (1}, 33, 33(9) Cyber Crime (Prohibition) Prevention Act, 2015.
