In a ruling, Justice Sherifat Solebo ordered that Adewale must provide one surety with reliable means of income which would be verified by the court and adjourned the case until August 5 for hearing.
The defendant, who had been in the custody of the EFCC following her arraignment in court on July 7, is facing a charge of possession of the fraudulent documents.
According to EFCC counsel, Mr Samuel Daji, the defendant was arrested following intelligence received by the EFCC on the activities of some young men allegedly involved in internet fraud in the Lekki axis of Lagos.
“Adeherself on June 15, with the intent to defraud, had in her possession a fraudulent document which was entitled ‘WhatsApp,” he alleged. “The offence violates Sections 318 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.”
