FCT, Abuja – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, March 11, uncovered Chinmark Homes and Shelters Limited and 57 other “fraudulent companies” operating as illegal investment schemes, “defrauding Nigerians of their hard-earned money”.
Legit.ng reports that Chinmark Homes and Shelters Limited is owned by Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah, a prominent Nigerian ‘businessman’.
According to the anti-graft body, its latest decision is in line with its commitment to sanitise the financial space of Nigeria and offer citizens willing to invest adequate and reliable information. Hence, the EFCC alerted Nigerians on the operations of 58 companies it said are posturing as investing entities and defrauding innocent Nigerians of their hard-earned money.
The EFCC stated that the companies are neither registered with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) nor the Security Exchange Commission (SEC).
Against this backdrop, the EFCC disclosed that it has charged many of the companies to court, with five of them convicted, another five pleaded guilty but awaiting review of facts while the rest are pending arraignment.
