The Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested an Abuja-based house agent, Hajia Adama Ahmed Adamu, over an alleged property fraud involving the sum of N288 million (Two Hundred and Eighty-Eight Million Naira).
The suspect is alleged to have obtained the money from Alhaji Tanko Yawale under the pretext of facilitating the purchase of a property located at House 31, Haile Selassie Street, Asokoro, Abuja.
Following the payment, Hajia Adamu allegedly failed to provide the complainant with valid documents for the property and subsequently became evasive, raising suspicion and prompting a formal petition to the EFCC.
Investigations further revealed that the suspect ignored several invitation letters issued by the Commission.
However, on March 24, 2026, operatives of the Commission tracked her to Brains and Hammers City Life Camp, Abuja, where she was apprehended.
The suspect will be charged to court upon conclusion of the process.
