An Ekiti State Chief Magistrate Court, Ado Ekiti District on Monday, ordered the remand of a 36-year-old man, Samuel Bankole, at the Correctional Centre in Ado Ekiti for being a serial offender who had jumped bail earlier granted to him.

The defendant, who was arraigned in court by the police command in Ekiti, was alleged to have obtained the sum of N700,000 under false pretence that he would assist one Olarenwaju Are to help him purchase a vehicle.

The prosecutor, Inspector Akinwale Oriyomi, told the court that “the defendant committed the offences at about 12 pm on February 20”.

He urged the court to “remand him in the custodial centre because he is a serial offender, who may jump bail, having such experience in the past.
