RULAAC Petitions IGP Over Alleged N9.5m Fraud

RULE of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre ( RULAAC) has appealed to the Inspector- General of Police ( IGP), Usman Baba, to intervene in the case of N9.5 million fraud on a Lagosbased businesswoman.

According to the petition signed by the Executive Director of RULAAC, Okechukwu Nwanguma, a syndicate allegedly swindled Mrs. Onyedikanne Osuji of N9.5 million on the pretext of engaging her travels and tours company in a travel deal.

The financial loss has left Mrs.

Osuji in distress, emotionally and physically, for which she approached the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, to help her recover the money from the syndicate, RULAAC noted.

A concerned Lagos police chief was said to have transferred the case to the Special Investigation Bureau ( SIB).

The civil society organisation said that the syndicate was swiftly rounded up by operatives of SIB, only to be released after a call reportedly from a mysterious senior police officer. Since then, the case has hung.
