The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has arraigned a suspected frauster, Julian Ndubueze Ezeji, for allegedly duping one Onyeka Okoye of the sum of N81 million in a phony oil transaction
According to the anti-crime agency, the 62-year-old Ezeji who hails from Ibeme, Isiala-Mbano local government area of Imo State, had fraudulently presented himself to Okoye as a petroleum products dealer and contractor who could supply his victim's company, Initial Energy Nigeria Limited, petroleum products directly from the NNPC.
After negotiations, the victim agreed to the deal and the sum of N81,250,000 exchanged hands and that was the last time Okoye heard or saw Ezeji as he became elusive for over a year.
Okoye had no option but to petition the EFCC when he could not get the products or his money and after a painstaking investigation, Ezeji was arrested and charged to court.
When the case was up for mention, the judge did not take Ezeji's plea as he was remanded in prison custody pending when the EFCC would be done with its investigations.
