A statement signed by the EFCC’s Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale said the convict was arraigned alongside one Mohammed Adamu in October 2023, following investigations into a petitioner’s claims of being defrauded by the convict. However, the purported employment offers never materialized, prompting Bello to petition the EFCC. In his judgment, Justice Messiri held that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, convicted Yilkan, but discharged and acquitted his co-defendant, Adamu. Yilkan’s journey to the Correctional Centre began when he collected the sum of N120.5million from desperate job seekers in the guise of offering them slots of employment. He neither offered them the jobs nor returned their money to them.
