The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned a 53-year-old civil servant, Mrs Oyawoye Olajumoke Fafemi, for allegedly defrauding 23 church members seeking employment.
She was arraigned before Justice Mohammed Sani of the Federal High in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Monday, September 26, by the Ilorin Zonal Command of the Commission.
The suspect, who’s a staff member of the Kwara State Ministry of Finance, was arraigned on four counts bordering on employment scam and Hajj pilgrimage fraud.
