 EFCC Arrests Company Rep Over Alleged N993m Fraud in Ilorin


The Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the EFCC has arrested a company representative, Kofoworola Motunrayo Kolawole, over an alleged fraud to the tune of N993,247,796.70 (Nine Hundred and Ninety-Three Million, Two Hundred and Forty-Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety-Six Naira, Seventy Kobo). The arrest of Kolawole, 37, was sequel to a petition submitted to the Commission by Predictus Remit Limited, a subsidiary of Fairmoney Microfinance Bank. The petitioner alleged that Kolawole, alongside the company directors - Duru Ogadima, Talukder Muhammed Khalidur Rahman (both currently at large) and their firm, DKK Partners Limited, fraudulently obtained the said sum under the pretext of facilitating a foreign exchange transaction. The funds were allegedly received on November 25, 2025, with the understanding that the Dollar equivalent of $675,219.44 (Six Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand, Two Hundred and Nineteen United States Dollars, Forty-Four Cents) would be remitted. Preliminary investigations by the EFCC revealed that the suspects allegedly received the funds through a Providus Bank account and, instead of executing the agreed transaction, converted the money into digital currency and diverted it for personal use.
