Alleged N702Million Fraud: Court Orders Doyin Okupe to Enter Defence

Doyin Okupe, a former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan, has been ordered by a Federal High Court, Abuja to enter his defence in an N702million fraud charge brought against him by the EFCC.

Making the order on December 12, 2019, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, while ruling on a no-case submission brought before the court by the defendant, held that the EFCC had no doubt established a prima facie case against him and the two companies, Value Trust Investment and Abraham Telecoms, on all the charges brought against them which makes it necessary for them to defend themselves.
