Ex-Super Eagles Star Arrested in ₦39 Million Fraud Case Linked to Dud Cheque Scandal

Former Super Eagles player, Ezeji, was reportedly arrested in connection with a ₦39 million fraud case involving a dud cheque issued to a businessman, Dagogo Emmanuel, for the purchase of diesel. Ezeji's wife, Celestina, who allegedly carried out the transaction, is currently at large.

The arrest followed investigative efforts by the Rivers State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) after the cheque bounced. Ezeji claimed ignorance of the transaction, leading to intensified efforts to locate his wife.
