Fuji Musician Felix Osagie Granted Bail in Fraud Case

Felix Osagie, a popular Fuji musician, appeared before the High Court in Ikeja on November 12, 2026, facing a four-count charge of fraud amounting to ₦21.25 million. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) accused Osagie of fraudulently converting ₦21,250,000 belonging to Joseph Oguche in 2020.
Osagie pleaded not guilty to all charges. The EFCC prosecutor, Lamido Ochuko, requested that Osagie be remanded in custody and a trial date be set.
However, Osagie's lawyer, Sunday Afolabi, filed a bail application citing the musician's deteriorating health, claiming he was diabetic and had been hospitalized since his release from EFCC custody. The prosecution opposed the bail application, alleging Osagie had been jumping bail since July 2026.
Justice Ismail Ijelu granted bail at ₦10 million with conditions, including two sureties who must be blood relatives and have verifiable income. Osagie must deposit his international passport and is barred from traveling outside.
The case is adjourned until December 16, 2026.
