EFCC urges court to deny popular social media influencer, Adeherself bail

The Economic and Financial Crimes commission has urged an Ikeja Special Offences Court to deny popular social media influencer, Adedamola "Adeherself" Adewale bail.

Mr Samuel Daji, the lead prosecuting counsel for the anti-graft agency made the plea on Monday, July 13, during Adewale’s bail hearing on a charge of possession of fraudulent documents.

Daji said “I urge the court to refuse the bail of the defendant and order accelerated hearing,”  

Adeherself was arrested last month following intelligence received by the Commission on the activities of some young men allegedly involved in internet fraud in the Lekki axis of Lagos State. She was recently arraigned on a one-count charge of possession of fraudulent documents.
