The complainant according to reports, alleged that sometime in 2020 the defendant approached him with a business proposal for the supply of Diesel and Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) to a company known as Lee Group.
Ibrahim in the name of her company reportedly collected a sum of Thirty-Eight Million, Two Hundred Thousand Naira (N38, 200,000.00) from the complainant and his family members to execute the said business but diverted the money for her personal use.
Having learnt of the development, the complainant reportedly requested a refund, but the defendant told him she had given the money to one Alhaji Lawan who allegedly absconded and could not be reached.
However, after a series of investigations, it was discovered that the defendant never invested the sum of money as claimed.
