Police Declares Anambra Commissioner Wanted for 10.6M Fraud...


The Special Fraud Unit, SFU of the  Force Criminal Investigation Department,  has declared the Anambra State Commissioner for Special Duties, Mr.  Vincent Ejikeme Ezewajiaku wanted for allegedly obtaining the sum of N10. 6 Million by false pretense and forgery.

Trouble erupted for the commisoner after the Unit received a petition from an undisclosed businessman, who alleged that sometime between 1996 and 2002, the commissioner who was then   Managing Director of BIO Plastic limited, invited him to  invest in his company as a co director,with an agreement that he (complainant) would acquire 34% of the equity at the end of investment.

The complainant according to the Police Spokesman, in the petition stated that he paid the sum of N10,582,540.00 in instalments. He alleged that he was induced by the commissioner to part with his hard earned money by writing several letters promising and indicating huge potentials of the company’s expected turnover and profitability. But he later discovered that he had invested in a non-existent company as the company was not registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission.

In the course of investigation some  detectives from the Unit travelled to Anambra State with an  invitation letter which was duly served on the suspect.
“  The suspect was expected to report to the office on April 16, 2013 but he failed to honour  Police invitation.

Again on  August 4, 2013 detectives went to Awka with a Warrant of Arrest and he resisted arrest and maintained that he must see the Governor of the State or State Commissioner of Police.  He was taken to State CID where he made cautionary statement and was subsequently released on bail to one Engr. Obi Damian Okwudili who promised in writing to produce the suspect on  August 15, 2013 but all to no avail.

“The suspect has deliberately refused to honour Police invitation as well as resisting arrest.  The surety has been arrested and will soon be charged to court for offence of surety to show cause.
