A prominent Nigerian civil rights organisation, the Rule of Law Accountability and Advocacy Centre (RULAAC), has levelled serious accusations against the Nigeria Police Force and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), claiming they are protecting a serial fraudster while persecuting her victims.
The Rule of Law Accountability and Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) has submitted a scathing petition to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions, detailing what it describes as a systemic corruption scheme involving Mrs. Titilayo Eboh, owner of the “Blessed Hope Foundation.”
At the centre of the controversy is Chinedu Ngwaka, a Bureau de Change operator who alleges he was defrauded of N3 billion by Mrs. Eboh. According to the petition, signed by RULAAC’s Executive Director, Okechukwu Nwanguma, the victim’s attempts to seek justice have been systematically undermined by law enforcement agencies.
The organisation claims that instead of investigating Ngwaka’s complaint, authorities have targeted him as a suspect. Adding to his ordeal, Ngwaka reports being extorted of N6 million during wrongful detention.
RULAAC’s petition paints a damning picture of alleged collusion, suggesting a “corrupt relationship” between Mrs. Eboh and certain police and EFCC operatives who purportedly benefit from her criminal activities and deliberately obstruct investigations.
The group highlighted the far-reaching consequences of the alleged fraud, noting its devastating impact on victims, including a female banker who suffered significant financial losses and subsequent mental health challenges.
RULAAC has called on the Senate to launch a comprehensive investigation into the role of identified police and EFCC operatives accused of allegedly compromising investigations. The organisation is also demanding a thorough review of the restrictions placed on Ngwaka’s accounts and an examination of the extortion claims.
