The Economic and Financial Crime Commission Arraigns Woman for Fraud

Monday June 27, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arraigned Helen Ogunniwa alongside her company, Den-Moyek Nigeria Enterprise, before Justice the High Court Igbosere on a two-count charge bordering on Obtaining Money by False Pretense and Issuance of Dishonored Cheque to the tune of 7, 369, 600 million Naira.

The complainant, Alhaja Jumoke Yusuf, supplied a truck load of Vegetable Oil to the defendant to supply another company worth of N7, 376,650, but she only made payment of 800, 000.00 Naira, refusing to pay balance of 6, 576, 650.00 Naira. 

Helen then allegedly issued a cheque in favour of the complainant. When the complainant got to the bank to cash the Cheque, it was dishonored due to insufficient funds in Helen's account.
