Alleged €29m Theft: Court Fixes Jan 14 For Ruling On Jean Codo’s Bail Application
Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos has fixed January 14, 2020 for ruling on the bail application filed by an alleged fraudster, Jean Codo, in a case of stealing to the tune of €29million.
Codo was arraigned alongside his company, Transport and Port Management Systems Limited, TPMS, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a seven-count charge bordering on stealing to the tune of €29million on Friday, December 13, 2019.
One of the counts reads: “That you, Jean Codo and TPMS Transport and Port Management Systems Ltd, sometime in 2010 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, conspired to commit felony, to wit; stealing of about €29,000,000.00 (Twenty-Nine Million Euros), property of the Federal Government of Nigeria.”
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
