The Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police has declared a former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, wanted for allegedly defrauding a land buyer of N130m.

The SFU alleged in a statement on Wednesday that the suspect and her son, Samson, obtained money from the victim by false representation.

The Commissioner of Police for the command, Tunde Ogunsakin, said, “The victim alleged that in September 2011, the suspects conspired and sold a parcel of land at Plot 24 Block 4 situated at Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos for N130m which he paid into the first suspect’s account with the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.

“He further stated that after payment, he requested title document and Alhaja Ojikutu procured an affidavit of support to back her fraudulent claim, a police crime extract and a publication in a newspaper all purporting to loss of the original documents of title to the land. The victim believed her because of her personality as the former Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

“The bubble burst when the victim commenced development of the land and was on the verge of completion when the bona fide owner of the land surfaced and indeed it was discovered that the land the suspect sold did not belong to her. She actually sold Plot 23 Block 4 while Plot 24 Block 4 already has a property on it.”

According to police investigation, the land Ojikutu sold, did not belong to her, but to one Mr. Afolabi. It was also discovered that the Plot 24 Block 4, which actually belonged to Alhaja Ojikutu’s late husband, Samson Ojikutu (senior), was sold by him in 1995 and the suspect was a life witness and appended her signature to the sale of the land.

Ogunsakin said the suspect further perpetrated the crime by alleging that the original Certificate of Occupancy to the property was missing and swore an affidavit which enabled her to obtain a police report and memorandum of loss. She also put up an advert in newspapers that the original C of O was lost, whereas the original C of O was with the Hallmark Homes, the buyer of the property.

He said, “The suspect, who is a 67-year-old retiree from Lagos Island, allegedly connived with her son, Samson, who is currently in the United States to commit the fraud. The suspect and her son were parties to the sale of the land and both signed the agreement given to the complainant and obtained the sum of N130m from him.

“She admitted committing the crime but confessed that it was a genuine mistake of plot identification. She refunded the sum of N50m to the complainant and promised to refund the balance as soon as she disposed of her two properties she put up for sale. She also confessed that she had invested the victim’s money in her business.

“She equally made an undertaking and payment plan which was drawn from September, 2012 and was to terminate by November 2012, but she defaulted.”

Ogunsakin stated that the suspect was not willing to abide by the terms of payment and had jumped bail. He added that all attempts to contact her had proved abortive.

“The SFU declares Alhaja Ojikutu wanted. Anybody with useful information regarding her whereabouts should report to the Commissioner of Police, Special Fraud Unit, 13 Milverton Road, Ikoyi,” he said

ok

Who purchased the land? chineke me!

Do u want to tell me that this woman did not save anything while she was a deputy governor, that she now resort to selling someones property or did she squander all her savings in OWAMBE?

Money invested in Amala and Gbegiri parties.....

I dey laff oooo

Shame on her!

I want to make a couple things clear before the PDP baboons come with their usual foolishness about ACN.

1. This woman was Deputy-Governor of Lagos State between January, 1992 and November, 1993 before she was forcefully removed from office as a result of the coup led by the late General Sani Abacha on November 17, 1993.

2. This woman is dirt. She sued Fashola and the LASG last year to make the government pay her a massive pension. The LASG ignored her rantings. This is what she asked for:

Alhaja Ojikutu is also demanding an annual basic salary equal to 100% of the annual salary of the incumbent Deputy-Governor of Lagos State, subject to review every five years or salary review by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission in line with Section 210 (3) of the Constitution as amended in 2011.

Allowances and fringe benefits to be paid and provided as follows:
*One residential house for the applicant at any location of her choice in Lagos State; two cars and in addition one pilot and one backup car to be replaced every three years.

*300% of the annual salary of the incumbent Deputy-Governor of Lagos State payable every two years en-bloc as furniture allowance; 10% of the annual basic salary of the incumbent Deputy-Governor of Lagos State as house maintenance allowance.

*Provision for cook, steward, gardener, drivers and other domestic staff to work for the applicant and who shall be pensionable by the 1st respondent; free medical treatment for the applicant and members of her immediate family.

*One State Security Service detail and two policemen, one each for the house and personal security for the applicant; *25% of the annual basic salary of the incumbent Deputy-Governor of Lagos State for a Personal Assistant.

*30% of the annual basic salary of the incumbent Deputy-Governor for car maintenance; 10% of the annual basic salary of the incumbent Deputy-Governor for entertainment and 20% of the annual basic salary of the incumbent Deputy-Governor for utility.

However, the matter has not been assigned to any Judge neither has the respondents in the suit filed any defence.

Isn't this her side of the story already?

“She admitted committing the crime but
confessed that it was a genuine mistake of plot
identification. She refunded the sum of N50m to
the complainant and promised to refund the
balance as soon as she disposed of her two
properties she put up for sale. She also confessed
that she had invested the victim’s money in her
business.

or what else are you waiting to hear?

This is one-sided story.

Btw, is that her in the picture?
She must not be doing well at all if it is. I hope this isn"t a grace to grass story almost done.

The more exposed you are, the more you will understand that "things happen". It is not everything the police or press say that is true.

Interesting

Did you not read the article?

Do you see the police charging former Deputy Governors for fraud in other states?

Don't mind him! He seems not to know how Nigeria works. Somebody who paid 130 million for a plot of land can afford to bribe the police to perform their duty. I equally paid for the services rendered to me when I was robbed sometimes ago. I needed police statement to tender at the place of my residence, so I had no choice but to pay for the services.
