The Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested one Mrs Salt Adeaze Udoka for alleged N165m property fraud.
Udoka, 48, is alleged to have collaborated with two others to obtain the sum of N165 million under the pretence of selling a landed property to their victim.
Preliminary investigation by the Commission revealed that the victim transferred the said sum to the suspect and her accomplice, Ndubisi John Iheukwumere, both of whom promised to sell the property, measuring 100 acres at Ewulu Kingdom, Delta State to him.
However, upon the receipt of the money, Udoka and her accomplices went out of circulation and cut off communication with their victim, leaving the buyer without the property he paid for nor refunded him.
EFCC said the female suspect has made useful statements to the Commission and will be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.
