A socialite in Ibadan, Oyo State, has been held by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibadan Zonal Command, over allegations of obtaining a sum of N24, 955, 000 under false pretense.
Identified as Ajayi Oluwabukola Temitope, the 42-year-old socialite was arrested following a series of petitions in which the suspect who claims to be a registered dealer with soft drinks manufacturers in Ibadan, promised to supply products but failed after collecting money from them.
In one of the petitions, Ajayi promised to supply a truckload 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.
EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren told NewsmakersNG that the suspect would be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
