Having lost the whopping sum of money, Shola reported to the Commissioner of the Police, who ordered for the investigation over the matter through the Crack Team. She was trailed, arrested and detained for interrogation over the allegation.
During interrogation, Odunayo reportedly admitted to have obtained the said money from Shola and offered to refund the money to him by issuing two Access Bank cheques of N10m and N11m, which were not honoured when the complainant went to the bank to collect the money.
