RULAAC Accuses Police, EFCC Syndicate of Aiding Fraudster in N3 Billion Scam, Petitions Senate
The Rule of Law Accountability and Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) has petitioned the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions, accusing a syndicate within the Nigeria Police Force and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of aiding a known fraudster, Mrs. Titilayo Eboh, in evading justice while targeting her victims.
The petition centers on the case of Chinedu Ngwaka, a Bureau de Change operator who alleges that he was defrauded of N3 billion by Mrs. Eboh, owner of "Blessed Hope Foundation." Despite reporting the matter to the police and EFCC, Ngwaka claims no proper investigation was conducted and that he was instead treated as a suspect. He also alleged being extorted by law enforcement, including paying N6 million as bail after his wrongful detention.
The petition, signed by RULAAC Executive Director Okechukwu Nwanguma, outlines several concerns, including a pattern of fraudulent activities by Mrs. Eboh, resulting in significant losses for her victims. It further alleges a corrupt relationship between Mrs. Eboh and certain police and EFCC operatives who reportedly benefit from her activities and obstruct investigations. One victim, a female banker, is said to have suffered severe financial losses and mental health challenges due to the fraud.
RULAAC has urged the Senate to investigate the allegations against Mrs. Eboh and her alleged collaborators in the police and EFCC. It also called for an examination of the extortion claims against Ngwaka and a review of the restrictions placed on his accounts. The petition seeks justice and accountability for all victims of Mrs. Eboh’s fraudulent schemes, emphasizing the critical need to address these issues to restore public trust in law enforcement and the fight against fraud.
