Businessman Henri Ikeji Denies Fraud Allegations
Businessman Henri Nzube Ikeji has denied allegations of fraud linked to impersonating a Dubai crown prince, which reportedly defrauded a Romanian woman of $2.5 million. In a press statement issued by Karen Jame on Tuesday, Ikeji insisted that his arrest was due to mistaken identity.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) conducted an investigation that purportedly revealed Ikeji was not the culprit in the impersonation scandal. The EFCC traced a total of N155,186,500 linked to legitimate business activities, supporting Ikeji's claim of innocence.
He has presented a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) duly registered with a notary public in Nigeria as evidence of lawful transactions. Ikeji expressed confidence that the matter would soon be resolved and remains hopeful that the ongoing investigation will clear his name once concluded.
The EFCC's report indicates that Ikeji is not involved in the alleged impersonation case.
