A businesswoman, Munachim Onyia, has been declared wanted by the Interpol Section of the Nigerian Police Force, following her alleged involvement in an investment fraud.
Before now, Ms Onyia had been running MECO Enterprises, a sole proprietorship she registered in September 2018, according to companies registration filings. She also ran IBC Africa, an investment firm, and the eponymous Muna Investment, a Ponzi scheme through which she allegedly swindled unsuspecting investors.
A warrant of arrest issued for Ms Onyia by the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court said she is wanted for obtaining money under false pretence and pretending to be a staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
“She is wanted by the Police for the offence of obtaining Money under False Pretence; the suspect falsely claimed to be a CBN Agent and obtained over one Billion Naira (N1B),” a notice issued by the Interpol Section of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos said.
