This is even as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has unveiled over 100,000 pages of evidence alleging Rufai’s involvement in tax and disaster frauds.

 

Alleged $350k fraud: US Court adjourns trial of Ogun Governor?s aide

 

The adjournment was contained in court documents from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.

 

“The trial date presently scheduled for February 1, 2022, is continued to May 31, 2022, at 9:00a.m. The pretrial conference is rescheduled for May 23, 2022, at 2:00 p.m., and the pretrial motions cutoff date is April 8, 2022.

The period of delay resulting from this continuance from the current trial date of February 1, 2022, to the new trial date of May 31, 2022, is hereby excluded for speedy trial purposes under 18 USC § 3161(h)(8)(A) and (B) for purposes of computing the time limitations imposed by the Speedy Trial Act, 18 USC § 3161-3174.”the document said

 

 

Rufai was made aware of the motion but had not objected to it, and will be filing the waiver for a speedy trial. This is despite the initial pretrial conference set for January 24 and the trial date for February 1, 2022.

The court documents described the investigation in Rufai’s case as “voluminous and complex.

 

Rufai, who served as the Deputy Director-General of the Dapo Abiodun Campaign Organisation in the last governorship election in the state, was arrested in May 2021 at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, US, on a criminal complaint of wire fraud for his scheme to steal over $350,000 (about N158 million) in unemployment benefits from the Washington State Employment Security Department, the acting US Attorney, Tessa M. Gorman, announced.

 

Wanted by security personnel since 2017, Rufai was found using the alias Sandy Tang linked to possible unemployment programs fraud in Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana,  Federal investigators identified Rufai through a single Gmail account which he used to file 102 claims for unemployment benefits, using stolen personal identities of real Washington residents.

 

He made his initial appearance in court on Saturday, May 15, 2021, in New York.  He faces up to 30 years in jail for wire fraud “in connection to a presidentially declared disaster or emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.”
