Nollywood Yoruba film producer, Seun Egbegbe has been freed after serving five years jail term in Ikoyi prison.
Justice Oluremi Oguntoyinbo of the Federal High Court had found Egbegbe guilty of one out of the 44 Counts proffered against him.
The popular producer and ex-lover of ace actress, Toyin Aimakhu had spent three and a half months in prison for defrauding Bureau de Change Operators of N39 million; $90,000 and £12,550.
According to the Police, the filmmaker fraudulently obtained the money from over forty Bureau De Change Operators in Lagos between 2015 and 2017.
Justice Oguntoyinbo discharged the four other suspects, but sentenced the filmmaker.
According to the Judge, 43 of the 44 Count charges were crumbled because of lack of witnesses to substantiate their claims.
Justice Oguntoyinbo also decried that the Prosecuting team failed to produce evidences, to be backed with witness on the Counts 4, 19 and 21.
Lamenting that Police tampered with the money recovered from the suspects, Justice Oguntoyinbo also ruled that all the money recovered from Egbegbe as evidence should be returned to him.
Egbegbe had spent his term with extra one year and four months in the prison.
He was set free yesterday, 11th October 2022.
