Mordi had posed as a doctor to deceive his girlfriend to believe that they were going to relocate to United States of America (USA) together, police prosecutor, Insp Courage Ekhueorohan told a Surulere Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Tuesday.
According to the police prosecutor, Mordi, who resides at Ring Road, Akala Way, Ibadan committed the offences sometime in July at No. 38, Ijesha road, Itire, Surulere, Lagos.
Ekhueorohan said Mordi obtained a total of N380,000 from Adebola, under the pretext of paying her back when the relocation process clicked.
The prosecutor said that after so much pressure from the complainant to get Mordi to pay her back, he issued a dud cheque that was dishonored due to insufficient credit balance.
