Hip-hop singer Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, arrived at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi this afternoon for the continuation of his trial.

The musician is facing an 11-count indictment brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for alleged money laundering and online fraud (EFCC).

On May 20, 2019, he was arraigned, pled not guilty, and was released on bond.

The EFCC said that Naira Marley and his associates colluded to scam their victims by using various ATM cards. According to the EFCC, the defendant had and utilized counterfeit credit cards belonging to several people with the goal to defraud others.

After the prosecutor, Rotimi Oyedepo, led in a second prosecution witness, Anosike Augustine, a mobile forensic expert with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), in evidence, the court heard his testimony on Tuesday, October 26.

Anosike stated that around 2,410 brief messages were analyzed from the defendant’s iPhone, as well as that various credit card details were taken from the iPhone.

The Apple iPhone, according to the witness, is a sophisticated device capable of storing a vast amount of data, and the sim card is what essentially identifies users of apps like WhatsApp.
