What happened
The EFCC said on 12 November 2026 that its Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 arraigned musician Felix Duke Osagie, known as Felix Duke, that day before Justice Ismail O. Ijelu of the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja over an alleged N21.2 million fraud. Sahara Reporters said the four-count charge covers stealing, obtaining money by false pretence, retaining proceeds of crime and giving false information. He is alleged to have stolen and converted N21,250,000 belonging to another person in 2020, and to have made a false statement to EFCC investigators on 2 April 2026 about a parcel of land at Ise, Ibeju-Lekki, that he allegedly claimed he had authority to sell. He pleaded not guilty to all counts. The prosecution said he had jumped EFCC administrative bail since July 2026. The judge granted bail of N10 million with two sureties and ordered him to surrender his passport. The charges are allegations.
How the scam works
A charge, an arraignment, a witness's testimony or a prosecutor's accusation is not a finding of guilt. People and companies named in these reports are accused, charged or, where the source says so, convicted or sentenced, and they are presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise. Do not treat a news report or a press release as a substitute for a court judgment. If you think you were affected by the same kind of scheme, keep records and report them to the investigating agency named in the source, or to your local police and your bank.
