Mr. Uno Michael Eke has been thrown into prison by a court over alleged N320m ponzi scheme fraud.
Eke
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arraigned the
registered trustee of Micheno Multi-purpose Cooperative Society, Mr. Uno
Michael Eke before Justice Simon Amobeda of the Federal High Court,
sitting in Calabar, Cross River State, on a separate 74-count charge,
for allegedly obtaining over N320 million (Three Hundred and Twenty
Million) by false pretence from innocent Nigerians.
Eke, allegedly scammed his victims through an alleged ponzi scheme
by inducing his victims to invest in his Swissgolden packages, through
his company, Micheno Multi-purpose Cooperative Society, under the false
pretence of paying them 80 per cent return on investment within just 40
days.
With this enticing bait, Eke duped so many people through the
scheme, and when his investors started calling for their capitals and
expected interest, he vanished into thin air.
One of the charges against him reads: “That you, Uno Michael
Eke (being the president/chief executive officer of Micheno
Multi-purpose Cooperative Society) and registered trustees of Micheno
Multi-purpose Cooperative Society (MMCS) on or about the 12th day of
July, 2018 in Calabar within the jurisdiction of this honourable court,
with intent to defraud, did obtain the sum of Forty-seven Million Naira
(N47,000,000.00) from one Briggs Nimi Osim by inducing her to invest
same into your Swissgolden packages through your Micheno Multi-purpose
Cooperative Society Ltd, under the false pretence of paying her 80% as
return on investment on her principal sum on the fortieth day of her
investment, which pretence you knew to be false and thereby committed an
offence contrary to Section 1 (1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and
Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1
(3) of the same Act”.
He pleaded not guilty on all charges. In view of his not guilty
plea, the prosecution counsel, T. N. Ndifon, prayed the court for a
trial date and for the accused person to be remanded in prison custody.
The defendant was remanded in prison custody, while the matter was
adjourned to June 13, 2019, for the hearing of the bail application.
