A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, has convicted Prolifick Entertainment Concept over the issuance of a ₦38 million dud cheque, a matter that previously featured in an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) wanted notice issued for the company’s promoter, Simon Oshi.

In Suit No. FCT/HC/CR/627/2025, Justice Modupe R. Osho-Adebiyi convicted Prolifick Entertainment Concept after the company pleaded guilty to issuing a Diamond Bank cheque valued at ₦38,000,000 that was returned due to insufficient funds.

Ejes Gist News reports that the judgment, delivered on December 9, 2025, imposed a fine of ₦500,000 on the company following its guilty plea.

According to the Certified True Copy of the judgment obtained by Ejes Gist News, EFCC investigator Mohammed Talor, who testified as PW1, told the court that the Commission received a petition from Aweskim Technology in 2020 alleging that Prolifick Entertainment Concept issued a dud cheque worth ₦38 million.

The witness stated that investigations confirmed the cheque was dishonoured by the bank because of insufficient funds. The court also heard that representatives of the company made statements to the EFCC during the investigation.

The judgment records that the defendant admitted the facts presented by the prosecution and entered a guilty plea. The court subsequently found the company guilty and imposed the prescribed penalty.

Background to the EFCC Wanted Notice

In 2021, the EFCC published a wanted notice for Simon Oshi, an indigene of Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The notice, signed by then EFCC Head of Media and Publicity Wilson Uwujaren, stated that Oshi was wanted in connection with allegations involving obtaining money under false pretence and the issuance of a dud cheque.

The Commission described Oshi as tall and dark-complexioned and appealed to members of the public to provide information that could assist in locating him.

Request for Removal of Earlier Publication

A reputation management firm, Digital Promax, acting on behalf of Simon Oshi, subsequently contacted Ejes Gist News requesting the removal of the earlier publication.

According to correspondence reviewed by Ejes Gist News, the firm argued that the EFCC webpage previously referenced in the report is no longer accessible and now returns a 404 error page.

The firm also submitted a Certified True Copy of the judgment in Suit No. FCT/HC/CR/627/2025 and contended that the court’s findings provide additional context relevant to the continued publication of the earlier report.

Review of Court Records

A review of the judgment shows that Prolifick Entertainment Concept was convicted after admitting guilt in relation to the ₦38 million dud cheque transaction that formed part of the factual background of the EFCC investigation.

The judgment identifies the company as the defendant in the criminal proceedings and records its guilty plea.

The court record reviewed by Ejes Gist News does not contain any declaration that the underlying dud cheque allegation was fabricated or unfounded.

The judgment also does not contain an order directing the removal of historical reports relating to the EFCC wanted notice.

As of the time of filing this report, Ejes Gist News has not seen any court order declaring the EFCC’s 2021 wanted notice false, nor any official EFCC statement stating that the notice was issued in error.

The publication has updated its coverage to reflect the conviction of Prolifick Entertainment Concept and the contents of the court judgment.
