Vincent Ezenwajiaku |
The Special Fraud Unit of the
Nigeria Police Force, Ikoyi, Lagos State, has declared the Anambra State
Commissioner for Special Duties, Mr. Vincent Ezenwajiaku, wanted.
The SFU said the commissioner
allegedly obtained N10.5m under false pretense about 10 years ago.
His surety, one Mr. Obi Okwudili,
had also been arrested by the unit for his inability to produce the suspect.
“This was to enable the
complainant acquire 34 per cent equity at the end of the investment.”
The complainant was said to have
subsequently paid N10,582,540.00 in installments after receiving reports from
Ezenwajiaku, which indicated the huge potential of the company, the expected
turnover and the profit.
However, a belated check with the
Corporate Affairs Commission by the complainant later revealed that he had
invested in a non-existent company as it was not registered with the
commission.
The statement read in part, “In
the course of investigation, detectives from the unit, travelled to Anambra
State with an invitation letter which was duly served on the suspect.
“Ezenwajiaku was expected to
report to SFU on April 16, 2013, but he did not honour the invitation.
“On August 4, 2013, detectives
went to Awka with a warrant of arrest which Ezenwajiaku resisted.
“Instead, he maintained that he
must see the governor of the state or the commissioner of police in the state.
“Ezenwajiaku was later taken to
State Criminal Investigation Department at Anambra, where he made cautionary
statement.”
He was said to have been
subsequently released on bail to Okwudili who promised in writing to produce
Ezenwajiaku on August 15 2013.
On the said date, Okwudili was
said to have failed to produce Ezenwajiaku.
As a result, Okwudili was later
arrested and would soon be charged to court for offence of “surety to show
cause.”
The statement added, “The
Commissioner of Police, Special Fraud Unit has declared Vincent Ezenwajiaku
wanted.
“Anybody with useful information
on how to arrest him or his whereabouts,
should contact the Commissioner of Police, Special Fraud Unit, 13, Milverton
Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.”
