Ogunyemi, whose residential address was not given, is facing a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretences.

He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The prosecutor, Insp Wasiu Dada, alleged the defendant obtained N2,050,000 from one Mrs Mary Abiodun and N800,000 from another person with a promise to introduce them into forex trading.

Dada said that the defendant knew that the representation was false.

He told the court that the defendant committed the offences on May 1 at 1.00 p.m. at Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos State.

He submitted that efforts made to retrieve the money from the defendant proved abortive.

The prosecutor said the alleged offences contravene Sections 313 and 314 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
