The Abuja Command of the Nigerian Police has moved the embattled founder of Ovaioza Farm Produce Storage Business (OFPSB) Ovaioza Umu Yinusa and her husband David to the Federal Capital Territory Command Headquarters in Garki.
Mrs Yinusa was arrested on Monday for defrauding investors who deposited money in her storage business to the tune of N10 billion.
She was detained at the Lugbe Police division but the news of her arrest saw hundreds of aggrieved investors converge at the division.
The investors were seen screening “thief”, “criminal” at the embattled OFPSB founder.
Fearing that they might mob her, the police moved her to the command headquarters for safety.
The matter, it was learnt, has been transferred to the SCID of the command.
Recall that Obinna Aligekwe, a US-based medical doctor who flew to Nigeria to facilitate her arrest said Mrs Yinusa acquired a $400,000 house in the US.
Aligekwe said he was privy to the information but wanted to protect the source from which it came.
He, however, did not disclose the location of the house in the US.
According to him, Yinusa and her husband were preparing to flee to the US with investors’ funds.
According to him, “So we would get more critical information with which to nail her.
“Ovaioza has bought a large house in the United States.
“Ovaioza intended to buy or has bought Investment Visa for another country.
“Ovaioza did not differentiate between her business and personal accounts in her spending spree.
“SEC gave conflicting verbal orders regarding whether or not she should pay, a situation which confused investors and bought her more time”.
