Monday, March, 9 2026 - Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have arrested a man, Ifeanyi Mba, over an alleged N10 million land fraud.
The anti-graft agency disclosed the arrest in a statement
posted on its official X handle on Monday.
]EFCC said, “The suspect was arrested following claims of a
petitioner alleging that he paid the suspect the said sum for a piece of land
located at Plot 677 Owo/Premier Layout, Ogui Nike community in Enugu state,
only to find out that the land was being developed by unknown persons.
“According to the petitioner, when he contacted the suspect
regarding the development, he said he was informed that the said property was
government owned.
“Subsequently, all efforts made by the petitioner to recover
his money proved abortive as the suspect remained incommunicado.”
The anti-graft agency said preliminary investigations showed
that there is no layout bearing Plot 677 Owo/Premier within government-acquired
areas, adding that Owo and Premier are two separate layouts.
It said the suspect would be charged to court upon the
conclusion of investigations.
