‘N62.3b fraud’: EFCC freezes 30 accounts of ex-NSITF boss, seizes 37 assets
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has frozen 30 accounts and seized 37 assets allegedly belonging to the former Chairman of the Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund, Dr. Ngozi Olojeme.
The agency had earlier linked 38 houses to Olojeme but it has obtained a court order to seize 37.
In one of the houses at No. 25, Kainji Crescent, Off Lake Chad Crescent, Maitama, Abuja, the EFCC detectives were said to have uncovered a state of the art bathroom suspected to have cost about $2m to $4million.
The EFCC is probing about N62.3billion fraud in NSITF with $48,485,127 credited to Olojeme.
Findings by The Nation correspondent revealed that the probe of Olojeme has reached a level for her arraignment in court by the anti-graft agency.
