An Ikeja special Offences Court yesterday remanded the proprietor of a ‘Yahoo-Yahoo’ training school in Lagos, Chinedu Frank, in prison custody.
 
Frank is standing trial before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo over an alleged $20,000 fraud
 
He is facing a seven-count charge of obtaining money by false pretence and possession of fraudulent documents brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC).

EFCC prosecuting counsel, Samuel Daji thereafter asked the court for a trial date.

Earlier, Daji, had told the court that the defendant committed the offences sometime in 2018 and on May 24, in Lagos.
