Nollywood film-maker and producer, Olajide Kareem, aka Seun Egbegbe, has regained his freedom after spending roughly three years and six months in prison.

Egbegbe who was the boss of Ebony Production allegedly swindled the BDC operators out of the money by claiming that he had naira to change into foreign currencies and vice versa.

He had been arraigned by the police for a series of fraud involving N39,098,100, $90,000 and £12,550.

Egbegbe and one Oyekan Ayomide were first arraigned on February 10, 2017, before Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo, on 36 counts bordering on advance fee fraud.

The charge sheet was subsequently amended twice, with the counts eventually increased to 40 and three other defendants – Lawal Kareem, Olalekan Yusuf and Muyideen Shoyombo – added.

The prosecuting counsel for the police, Innocent Anyigor, said Egbegbe and the other defendants acted contrary to Section 8 of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act 2006 and were liable to be punished under Section 1(3) of the same Act.

But now the Federal High Court, Ikoyi Lagos after reviewing his case has found Egbegbe; guilty of just one of the 44 Counts charges against him.

Egbegbe was set free yesterday 11th October 2022.

Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo declared that 43 of the 44 Count charges were crumbled because of lack of witnesses to substantiate their claims.

She also decried that the prosecuting team failed in the responsibility to produce evidence, to be backed with witnesses on Counts 4, 19 and 21.

Lamenting that police tampered with the money recovered from the suspects, Justice Oguntoyinbo also ruled that all the money recovered from Egbegbe as evidence should be returned to him.

“I did a video on my business page @realhouseofempress to warn people about this dangerous blackmailer, who took my 3 phones and was scamming people pretending to be me. Asking for money which a lot of people sent, police traced the account n found out it was a POS lady he was using. So no trace (criminal). Am so sorry guys, I know you guys sent money out of LOVE. Pls next time try to speak to the person, he said I was in the hospital..yes I was hospitalized but never asked for money.

Happy new year everyone and happy new month. Am so happy to have gotten my personal Instagram page back from the blackmailer (even though he did a lot of damage already). Thanks to the amazing I.T and the crew. I want to take this opportunity to thank my family, friends, well wishers for standing by me through this perilous time of my life. God bless you all for the genuine love you all showed me. Can never take it for granted”.

PUBLIC DISCLAIMER

DISASSOCIATION FROM REVOLUTIONPLUS PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED

Advertisement

We are Solicitors to Mrs. Olutoyin Abosede Ajeyemi Abraham, (hereinafter referred to ‘our Client’) and on whose instruction we write the above-captioned letter.

Our Client wishes to disassociate herself from the brand, Revolutionplus (hereinafter referred to ‘the company). This disclaimer is premised on the fact that our client’s contract with the Company as a Brand Ambassador has been effectively terminated and the compelling need to disassociate herself from the image of the Brand.

Despite the above promises, I was still receiving various threats messages, curses, complaints and pleas from investors claiming they had not been allocated any land or refunded their monies. Some of them further claimed that because I represented the Company as a brand ambassador, I reposed their confidence in the
Company to invest their monies. I became sad, worried, and disturbed and decided to stop my social media publications and advertisement of the Company’s products.

When the pressure and harassment became embarrassingly unbearable both online on all my social media platforms and offline, and with my integrity at stake, I sent a mail to the Company on the 15th June 2022 notifying them of my intent to terminate my contract as a Brand Ambassador. The Company reached out to me on the 16th of June 2022, we had a meeting and they promised to promptly and effectively address the allegations. Upon the premise of the promises made, I sent another mail on the 17th June 2022 cancelling my notice of intent to terminate my contract as a brand ambassador.

In view of the above termination which I accept in good faith and totality, and considering the recent similar messages I have received from aggrieved customers from the brand, I hereby disassociate myself from the brand and advise that all persons dealing with the brand conduct their respective due diligence’.

It was in the wake of my decision to reduce the brand’s visibility and advertisement on my social media platforms, especially because my integrity as a person is being questioned daily, that I received a ‘Notice of Termination of Brand Ambassadorship’ letter on the 22nd December 2022 by the Company’s legal team, which effectively terminated my contract with them on grounds of reduced affection and reluctant approach towards publicly identifying with the brand.

While performing my duties as contained in the contract, I started receiving a lot of allegations and complaints from investors who claimed the Company has not allocated lands nor refunded them their monies. Some of these investors were in my DM (Direct Message) demanding for refund of their monies or allocation of the lands they paid for.

Please find below the official statement from our Client:

‘After carefully conducting my due diligence and being personally convinced about the genuineness of the Company, I proceeded to sign a contractual agreement in July 2020, thereby becoming a brand ambassador to market the property products of the Company, Revolutionplus. This duty I carried out with utmost loyalty, diligence, integrity and excellence, which are the core values I stand for.

The Olabisi Onabanjo University English graduate who posted an eight-minute-long video on her business page on Instagram said she made the engagement video under duress.

She also said she was not the one who posted it on Instagram.

She said she no longer has control of that account, explaining that the man in the video came into her life on the pretext of wanting to marry her.

Ms Njamah, who once dated singer Timaya, said the unnamed individual came into her life when she was vulnerable as she had just lost her friend, Ada Ameh.

She revealed that she had been speaking to him for months on the phone and people she thought were his relatives, not knowing that it was all a scam.

“He came into my life and said he could not leave me because I wasn’t okay. I wasn’t okay; I was hiding it from the press. The death of my friend broke me down so badly I could not function, and he said he would stay with me.

“I didn’t know he was busy gathering his tools, the materials he would use to blackmail me.

The ‘Liberian Girl’ actress, who said she was speaking up to clear the air, said when her ex-lover got a hold of her nude videos, he completely changed.

“He started hitting me, and when I wanted to talk and tell him this can’t work, he blackmailed me with my videos and said I’m going nowhere.

“That was when he turned into an animal. He beats me anytime, locks me up, and puts the keys in his pocket in my own house. I didn’t have access to leave my room,” she said.
