A businesswoman, Omotola Oyewole, has told an Ogba Magistrate’s Court how she lost the sum of N2m to an investment scam.

The woman said the defendant eventually picked up his call on July 4 and told her that she might not receive any returns on the investment.

“When he finally picked on July 4, he told me to check the MoU that I might not get any ROI. I told him that I should get the N2m I invested if I couldn’t get any dividends. I wanted my money but he told me I would get my principal after 30 working days. “I went to a police station when I saw that he wasn’t forthcoming. They invited him and when he got there, he was talking with so much pride. They asked me what I wanted and I said he should write an undertaking on when he would pay me. He wrote an undertaking to pay back on August 26, but he didn’t pay. I went back to the station but I felt that I wouldn’t get justice in that station. So, I went to the state police command and they invited him,” she added.

In his defence, Abayomi told the court that he also lost his money to the scheme, adding that he had paid the sum of N1,050,000 since the invitation by the police.Kindly share this story: All rights reserved.
