Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested one Ndubisi
John Iheukwumere for alleged property fraud.
Iheukwumere, 64, is alleged to have collaborated with one Mrs Salt Adaeze
Udoka who is currently at large to obtain the sum of N165 million under the
pretence of selling a landed property measuring 100 acres at Ewulu Kingdom,
Delta State to a petitioner.
Preliminary investigation by the Commission revealed that the petitioner
transferred the said sum to the suspect in two tranches. However, upon
transferring the money, efforts by the petitioner to take possession of the
property was unsuccessful as it was discovered that the landed property did not
belong to the suspect as he only impersonated the rightful owners of the
property to defraud the unsuspecting victim.
The suspect who has confessed to the crime will be charged to court as soon as
investigations are concluded.
