Reports indicate that Nollywood film maker, Seun Egbegbe, accused of attempting to defraud two Bureau de Change operators of $9,000 and £3,000 on Thursday, February 2, 2017, is still in custody of Lagos Police Command.
It was gathered that Seun Egbegbe together with his accomplice (Ayodele Oyekan) spent the weekend in detention. According to Encomium.ng, their remand order was extended on Monday, February 6 by the courts. Encomium reports that when they contacted the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, she confirmed that the suspects are still detained. She said:
“He’s still in custody. The Command got the consent of the court for his continued detention so as to allow extensive investigation since he’s an habitual suspect.”
The accused would appear in court on Wednesday, February 8, following his theft of nine iPhone handsets case of November 22, 2016.
