A man identified as Oni Samuel has been arraigned before a Magistrates court, sitting in Akure, Ondo State capital for allegedly defrauding a sex worker, Blessing Olaitan of a sum of N120,000.

Samuel was earlier arrested by the men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC for allegedly committing the offence last week.

During the proceeding, Olaitan told the court that she was a professional sex worker, saying the defendant allegedly collected a sum of N80,000 cash from her after having sex with her on a fateful night, explaining that the defendant promised to transfer the cash to her together with another N15,000 her ‘professional fee’.

Olaitan said she later discovered that what she got from the defendant was fake transfer.
