The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Nigerian musician Felix Duke Osagie, popularly known as Felix Duke, before the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja over an alleged N21.25 million fraud.
Duke was arraigned on Thursday, November 12, 2026, before Justice Ismail O. Ijelu on a four-count charge bordering on stealing, obtaining money by false pretense, retention of proceeds of crime, and giving false information.
According to the charges, the defendant allegedly stole N21.25 million belonging to one Mr. Joseph Onuh Oguche in 2020, and later gave false statements to EFCC investigators in April 2026 regarding the existence and authority to sell a parcel of land in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
Duke pleaded not guilty to all charges, prompting prosecution counsel Abdulhamid Lamido Tukur to oppose his bail application on grounds that the defendant had previously jumped administrative bail in July 2026.
Justice Ijelu granted the defendant bail in the sum of N10 million with two sureties in like sum—one of whom must be a blood relative—ordered the surrender of his international passport, and adjourned the matter until December 16, 2026, for trial while remanding him pending the perfection of his bail conditions.
