The Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) took legal action against a 56-year-old car dealer, Rasaq Abolaji Mumini, and an accomplice, Mrs. Lawal Olawande Mariam for N13.5M property fraud.
According to the reports, Mumini and Mariam sold the property to Mrs. Felicia Adeyemi for the sum of N13,500,000.00 in December 2022.
The property, however, was still under the custody of the Commission at the time of the sale, making the transaction illegal.

Investigations revealed that Mariam, the second defendant, and wife of the property owner, Mr. Adebayo Abiodun, had sought Mumini’s assistance to remove the Commission’s inscription from the property.
The Comission had marked the apartment after uncovering its connection to illegal activities.
Mumini also deceitfully obtained N3,050,000.00 from Mariam, claiming it was needed to remove the inscription “KEEP OFF EFCC UNDER INVESTIGATION” from the apartment.
Mumini and Mariam pleaded not guilty, but the court remanded them in custody. The case was adjourned until February 12, 2024, for bail hearings.
