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 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 the petitioner.
Preliminary investigation by the Commission showed 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 were 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.
