Fuji Musician Felix Osagie Faces N21m Fraud Charges

Felix Osagie, a Fuji musician, was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja on November 13, 2026, over an alleged fraud of N21.25 million. The charges, presented by prosecution counsel Lamido Ochuko, included stealing and obtaining money by false pretence, with the alleged crime occurring in 2020 involving one Joseph Oguche.

Osagie pleaded not guilty to all counts. Following his plea, Ochuko requested a trial date and sought to remand Osagie in a correctional facility.

Defence counsel Sunday Afolabi filed a bail application, citing Osagie's deteriorating health, including diabetes. The prosecution opposed the bail, claiming Osagie had been jumping bail since July 2026.

Justice Ismail Ijelu granted bail at N10 million with conditions, including two sureties who must be blood relatives and have paid taxes in the last three years. Osagie was ordered to deposit his international passport and was remanded in a correctional facility pending bail conditions.

The trial is scheduled for December 16, 2026.
