An Ibadan socialite, Ajayi Oluwabukola Temitope, has been arrested by operatives of the Ibadan Zonal Command of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for allegedly obtaining money to the tune of N24.955 million through false pretence.
Disclosing this on Friday, the EFCC Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, said that the 42-year-old lady was arrested after the Commission received a series of petitions in which the suspect, who claimed to be a registered dealer with soft drinks manufacturers in Ibadan, Oyo State, promised to supply products to complainants but failed after collecting money from them.
According to Uwujaren, “in one of the petitions, Ajayi promised to supply a truckload of carbonated soft drinks worth N17.375 million from Ibadan to Mabera Trading Company and Altine Musa in Sokoto State but failed to do so.
“In the same vein, she also allegedly promised to supply soft drinks worth N7.58 million to one Bashiru Musa, a businessman based in Sokoto State and Ibadan but never did.”
Uwujaren said that the suspect would be charged to court as soon as an investigation had been concluded.
