The Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested a woman, Mrs Salt Adeaze Udoka, over an alleged property fraud involving the sum of ₦165 million.
Udoka, 48, is accused of conspiring with two others to defraud a victim under the guise of selling a landed property.
Preliminary investigations by the Commission revealed that the suspect, alongside an accomplice identified as Ndubisi John Iheukwumere, allegedly collected the sum of ₦165 million from the victim, claiming they were selling him a 100 acre parcel of land located in Ewulu Kingdom, Delta State.
Investigators said that after receiving the money, Udoka and her accomplices reportedly went into hiding, cut off all forms of communication with the victim, failing to either deliver the property or refund the money paid.
The EFCC disclosed that the suspect has made useful statements to investigators and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of ongoing investigations.
