Cinematters: Lagos Ex-Dep Goveronr Ojikutu ARRESTED For N130m FRAUD

Former Deputy Governor of Lagos State Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu was arrested by the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police. It will be recalled that the woman was declared wanted by the Unit in June 2013, after the case of obtaining the sum of N130m from one Cajethan Okekearu became public.
On Tuesday, the SFU in a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer Ngozi Isintume-Agu said the ex-deputy governor was arrested at her Lagos Island residence.
The 67-year-old allegedly partnered with her son Samson Ojikutu Jnr. who currently resides in the United States to commit the fraud.
The statement by the police read, in part,

"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 N130 million from him.

"She admitted the crime but claimed 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 her two properties she put up for sale. She also confessed that she had injected the Complainant’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 due to lack of fund."
