N10 million fraud: Police explains why it declared Anambra Commissioner wanted

The Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police
Force, Ikoyi, Lagos State, has explained why it
declared the Anambra State Commissioner for
Special Duties, Mr. Vincent Ezenwajiaku, wanted.
According to the police, the commissioner
allegedly obtained N10.5m under false pretence a decade ago.
A statement by the SFU Police Public Relations
Officer, DSP Ngozi Isintume-Agu said, "A petition
written to the Commissioner of Police, Special
Fraud Unit, Mr. Tunde Ogunsakin, alleged that
sometime between 1996 and 2002, Ezenwajiaku,
being the Managing Director of BIO Plastic Ltd,
had invited the complainant to invest in his
company as a co-Director. 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 instalments after receiving reports from the Cmmissioner, 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
indicated that he had invested in a non-existent
company as it was not registered with the
Commission.''
The statement further added, "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."
