Operatives of the Ibadan Zonal Command of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC), have arrested Ibadan-based socialite, Ajayi Oluwabukola Temitope, for allegedly obtaining a sum of N24.9 million 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 for manufacturers of soft drinks 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 drinks worth N17.3 million from Ibadan to Mabera Trading Company and Altine Musa in Sokoto State but failed to do so.
In the same vein, she also allegedly promised to supply soft drinks worth N7.5 million to one Bashiru Musa, a business man based in Sokoto and Ibadan but never did.
According to Wilson Uwujaren, the EFCC’s head of media and publicity, the suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
