Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested an Ibadan-based socialite, Ajayi Oluwabukola Temitope, for allegedly obtaining money to the tune of N24,955,000 by false pretence.
The 42-year-old woman was arrested following a series of petitions in which the suspect who claims to be a registered dealer with soft drinks manufacturers in Ibadan, Oyo State promised to supply products to complainants but failed 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.
In the same vein, she also allegedly promised to supply soft drinks worth N7,580,000 to one Bashiru Musa, a businessman based in Sokoto and Ibadan but never did.
Wilson Uwujaren, Head, Media and Publicity of the EFCC, on Friday, said the suspect will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
