Detained businessman, Mr Henry Nzube Ikeji who was arrested by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied allegations that he posed as a Dubai Crown Prince to defraud a Romanian woman.
An investigative report released by National Cybercrime Centre had two months ago named the businessman as defrauding the Romanian of $2.5million, leading to his arrest.
But in a statement by her media adviser, Mrs Chinyere James, who visited the detained socialite in EFCC custody said he has insisted that his arrest had to do with mistaken identity.
Mrs James in the statement quoted Ikeji as saying that: “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s investigation report shows he isn’t the culprit in the Dubai Crown Prince impersonation scandal.
“Of all allegations linking him to a supposed Dubai Crown Prince case, only the sum of N155,186,500 million was traced to Mr Henry Nzube Ikeji, which he said is proceeds of his business.
“He also provided his MoU agreement registered with Notary Public of Nigeria, to show the genuineness of his business deals.
James said she is optimistic that once matters are sorted out, the socialite would be left off the hook, considering that the commission has established his innocence.
