A young man, Bolaji Quadri (aka Philip Coffert), was yesterday arraigned before Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye of the Lagos State High Court on a 6-count charge of forgery and obtaining money under false pretence. He allegedly duped one Raedeena Collins of the sum of $1000 by falsely claiming to be on Phillips Coffert.
At the point of his arrest, several fraudulent documents were found in his possession including forged cashier’s cheque from international banks in both U.S and U.K. Bolaji pleaded not guilty and the case was adjourned to 3rd and 4th May 2016 for the commencement of trial and hearing of bail application. Bolaji was ordered to be remanded in prison custody.
