FRAUD: EFCC Busts $5.5m Corporate Scam by emamos: 12:40pm On Sep 14, 2015
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the weekend, busted a major corporate fraud when it took into custody one Alhaji Mohammed Gobir for allegedly defrauding foremost outdoor advertising company, Afromedia, of huge sums of money in various currencies.

According to a source at the EFCC, the mega fraud fetched Gobir $3,500,000 (N514,457,151.87), $2,102,740, and £51,000 at various times.
The source, who would not want to be named, told LEADERSHIP that Gobir, a 55-year-old father of two, was picked up by operatives of the EFCC in the early hours of Saturday at his Ikoyi residence and is still being interrogated at the Lagos office of the anti-graft agency.
The suspect allegedly defrauded the advertising company through a phony investment deal.

The suspect was allegedly introduced to Afromedia sometime in 2008 by their Private Placement Consultants, Synergy Capital Advisory Limited, as a high network investor who was willing to inject N1billion into the company, through the acquisition of shares.

Based on his touted pedigree as a potential investor, Gobir got close to the management and in no time became the chairman of the Business Development Committee of the Board of Directors of the company, a position he later used to defraud the company.

...GMB Loading...

The rate at which the wave of EFCC Pickup is going ehn... I am sure they will visit every street in Lagos.

Most houses in Abuja will now be for rent at a lower rate after it gets confiscated by the govt...

The best route out of Nigeria through seme will now be the most expensive route...

Vigilantes will now be well paid as informants as per whenever EFCC visits the area

EFCC has always been dealing with white collar crime. It is the press and Nigerians that focus on the ''Politician Arrested '' part of their work. EFCC was not set up JUST to jail politicians. Their first big cases were in the Banking sector.
