An Ibadan Socialite, Ajayi Oluwabukola Temitope, has been arrested for allegedly obtaining money to the tune of N24, 955, 000. 00 by false pretence.
Operatives of the Ibadan Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) effected the arrest.
The 42-year-old Ibadan socialite was arrested following series of petitions.
Stonix News (SN) gathered that the suspect had claimed to be a registered dealer with soft drinks manufacturers in Ibadan, Oyo State.
As a result, she allegedly promised to supply products to clients, but failed after collecting huge sums of money from them.
In one of the petitions, Ajayi promised to supply a truck-load of carbonated soft drinks worth N17, 375,000 from Ibadan to Mabera Trading Company and Altine Musa in Sokoto, but failed to do so.
In the same vein, she also allegedly promised to supply soft drinks worth N7, 580,000 to one Bashiru Musa, a business man based in Sokoto and Ibadan, but never did.
The anti-graft commission said the suspect would be charged to court as soon as the investigation was concluded.
