Ladi Akindele, Owner of Chrome remanded in prison over N15 million fraud

An Igbosere Magistrate Court, Lagos, has remanded part owner of Chrome, Ladi Akindele, in Kirikiri Prison, Lagos, till his next court appearance, following an alleged assault and issuance of N15 million dud cheque to his partner, Mr. Charles Ahize.

The accused was said to have breached the terms of the joint business.

He was said to have assaulted Ahize when he stormed the Victoria Island, Lagos, site of their joint business (Chrome) with touts.

It was gathered that on December 14, the police visited the accused to invite him for questioning over the assault and issuance of dud cheques case against him.

He was said to have resisted arrest in a manner that almost led to breach of public peace. He was eventually taken away.

Based on the order of Inspector-General of Police, the accused was detained for failing to honour the invitation. Eight days later, he was charged to court.

Part of the reasons the court refused to grant the accused bail was because he resisted arrest and threatened law enforcers.

The matter was adjourned till January 25, 2012.
