Benue State Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, arraigned one Amaka Oranuka before Justice Abdu Dogo of the Federal High Court in Makurdi, Benue State, on a two count charge bordering on obtaining by false pretence.

Amaka was arrested by the EFCC following a petition alleging that she offered to sell two IX25 Hyundai SUV cars, worth N15,000,000.00( Fifteen Million Naira) to the petitioner but after an initial deposit of over N12 million was paid into her account, no such cars were delivered to him.

According to the EFCC, after the payments were made, Amaka Oranuka became evasive and efforts to reach her to either get the vehicles requested or have a refund became futile.

A statement by the EFCC reads;

“The EFCC, Makurdi Zonal Command, has arraigned one Amaka Oranuka before Justice Abdu Dogo of the Federal High Court sitting in Makurdi, Benue State.”
