Salt Adeaze Udoka Arrested in N165M Property Fraud
The Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested 48-year-old Salt Adeaze Udoka over alleged property fraud involving N165 million.
According to an EFCC statement on Tuesday, Udoka is accused of collaborating with two others to deceive a victim into paying for a 100-acre property in Ewulu Kingdom, Delta State, which they never intended to sell.
How the Scam Unfolded
Investigators said the victim transferred the funds to Udoka and one of her accomplices, Ndubisi John Iheukwumere, after being promised ownership of the land. Upon receiving the money, Udoka and her accomplices allegedly disappeared and cut off all communication, leaving the victim without the property or a refund.
The EFCC noted that Udoka has provided statements to assist with the ongoing investigation. She will be formally charged in court once investigations are concluded.
Authorities continue to urge the public to exercise caution in property transactions to avoid falling victim to similar scams.
