The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), through its Benin Zonal Directorate, has arrested a woman, Mrs. Salt Adeaze Udoka, over an alleged ₦165 million property fraud in Delta State.
Udoka, 48, is accused of conspiring with two other individuals to obtain the sum under the pretence of selling a landed property to an unsuspecting victim.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim transferred ₦165 million to Udoka and one of her alleged accomplices, Ndubisi John Iheukwumere, following an agreement to sell a 100-acre parcel of land located in Ewulu Kingdom, Delta State.
According to the EFCC, after receiving the money, Udoka and her accomplices reportedly went out of contact and severed communication with the victim, neither delivering the property nor refunding the money paid.
The anti-graft agency disclosed that the suspect has made useful statements during interrogation and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigation.
