Nigeria’s apex anti-fraud agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have ‘smoked out’ Ahamba Tochukwu, Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Gavice Logistics Limited having gone underground to avert the eagle eyes of law enforcement after 11 months on the run from justice. He was found to have allegedly defrauded 400 investors to the tune of over N2billion (two billion naira) via earlier promised ‘Return-On-Investment’, ROI.
After Tochukwu was caught from hideouts, he was promptly handcuffed, his Nigerian international passport, mobile phones seized, as his bank accounts were frozen immediately.
NAIJA STANDARD gathered that since his arrest, the suspect has been singing like the Canary bird on grilling, promising to cooperate with investigators and explain ‘where the dead bodies are buried’ figuratively speaking financially.
EFF investigation confirmed that “Tochukwu, through Gavice Logistics Limited, rolled out elaborate investment plans spanning haulage, courier and e-commerce services and dangled fifty percent Returns on Investment, ROI, to his investors.
“Investigations showed that he raked in more than N2billion from 400 investors who could no longer access their capital and ROI owing to the fact that Tochukwu, since November 2024, disappeared into thin air with his investors’ funds. He was, however, caught by EFCC’s gallant operatives who are busy grilling him on his alleged fraudulent Ponzi scheme.”
With his arrest, members of the public are enjoined to desist from patronising unverified pyramid schemes and fraudulent investment promoters to avoid being defrauded.
