The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Mrs. Salt Adeaze Udoka, 48, for alleged property fraud involving N165 million. Udoka is accused of collaborating with two others to obtain the sum from a victim under the pretense of selling a 100-acre property in Ewulu Kingdom, Delta State. The victim transferred the money to Udoka and her accomplice, Ndubisi John Iheukwumere, but they failed to deliver the property or refund the payment.
Preliminary investigations reveal that Udoka and her accomplices cut off communication with the victim after receiving the money, leaving him without the property or a refund. The EFCC’s Benin Zonal Directorate is handling the case, and Udoka has made useful statements to the Commission. The EFCC is working to conclude investigations and bring charges against her.
The EFCC’s action demonstrates its commitment to tackling financial crimes and protecting citizens’ interests. The Commission urges citizens to be cautious in property transactions and report suspicious activities to the relevant authorities. Udoka’s arrest serves as a warning to those involved in fraudulent activities, and the EFCC will continue to work towards ensuring justice is served.
