The Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested a representative of DKK Partners Limited, Kofoworola Motunrayo Kolawole, for an alleged fraud to the tune of N993,247,796.70 (Nine Hundred and Ninety-Three Million, Two Hundred and Forty-Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety-Six Naira, Seventy Kobo).
Kolawole,
37, a native of Ondo State, who initially failed to honour several invitations
by the Commission, later turned herself in and is currently in custody
following a court-ordered remand. Her arrest was sequel to a petition submitted
to the Commission by Predictus Remit Limited, a subsidiary of Fairmoney
Microfinance Bank.
The
petitioner alleged that Kolawole, alongside the company directors - Duru
Ogadima, Talukder Muhammed Khalidur Rahman (both currently at large) and their
firm, DKK Partners Limited, fraudulently obtained the said sum under the
pretext of facilitating a foreign exchange transaction. The funds were
allegedly received on November 25, 2025, with the understanding that the dollar
equivalent of $675,219.44 (Six Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand, Two Hundred
and Nineteen United States Dollars, Forty-Four Cents) would be remitted.
Preliminary
investigations by the EFCC revealed that the suspect allegedly received the
funds through a Providus Bank account and, instead of executing the agreed
transaction, converted the money into digital currency and diverted it for
personal use.
Further
findings indicated that DKK Partners Limited is not licensed by the Central
Bank of Nigeria to engage in such financial transactions, contrary to
representations made to the petitioner.
The
suspect will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of ongoing
investigations.
