David Madison, into believing that they were employees of foreign
exchange business, Gora Commanding Resources, which they claimed
belonged to Philemon Gora, who is still at large. Madison was lured into
believing that his investment of five hundred thousand (N500, 000.00)
would yield him ten percent (10%) interest as returns on a monthly
basis.
He however discovered later that the 10% on his capital reflected
on his account only in the first month of his investment. While all the
effort to recover his money proved abortive. While delivering his
judgment, Justice Jauro, ordered Generous to restitute five hundred
thousand naira, N500, 000.00, to the victim.
