Men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibadan Zonal Command, have arrested one Ajayi Oluwabukola Temitope, for allegedly obtaining the sum of N24, 955, 000 from her customers through false pretence.
The 42-year-old Ibadan socialite was arrested following series of petitions in which the suspect, who claimed to be a registered dealer with soft drinks manufacturers in the city promised to supply some products to the complainants but failed to so after collecting money from them.
In one of the petitions, Ajayi promised to supply a truck load of carbonated soft drinks worth N17, 375,000 from Ibadan to Mabera Trading Company and Altine Musa in Sokoto but failed to do so.
She also allegedly failed to supply soft drinks worth N7, 580,000 to one Bashiru Musa, a business man based in Sokoto and Ibadan contrary to their agreement.
Wilson Uwujaren, Head, Media and Publicity of EFCC, said that the suspect would be charged to court as soon as investigation was concluded.
