The Nigeria Police Force has arrested a high-profile suspect, Ms Okeke Ogechi Njaka in connection with major transnational financial crimes, including a ₦452 million charity scam.
According to a statement issued on Monday by Force Public Relations Officer ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the arrest was made by operatives of the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) Abuja as part of an intensified crackdown on cybercrime and financial fraud.
Njaka, was arrested in an intelligence-led operation.
Njaka who is reportedly based abroad, was re-arrested on May 8 in Abuja. She was declared wanted in 2021 for offences including cyberbullying, cyberstalking, obtaining money under false pretences, and criminal breach of trust.
Her initial arrest was in Anambra State in January, but she absconded after being granted administrative bail.
“Persistent intelligence-led efforts led to her re-arrest at a hideout in Abuja,” Adejobi confirmed.
Njaka is also being prosecuted alongside her NGO, Ogechi Helping Hands Foundation, for allegedly defrauding the public of ₦452,821,982 in a fake medical aid scheme.
Two others, Emeka Ezeogbo and Tolotolo Family Foundation, are being prosecuted in the same case.
