NSCDC Female Staff Dupes Investors In Phony Estate Project

A former staff of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Adenike Ishola Bintu who specializes in duping prospective estate investors through non- existent projects has had her assets forfeited.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) secured the order of interim forfeiture on the two assets of Bintu located at Sabon Lugbe, Abuja, in its efforts to recover assets acquired with proceeds of crime by corrupt persons.

The assets are linked to Bintu and her company, Faith Winners Properties Nigeria Ltd.

According to a statement dated December 16, 2019 and posted on the Facebook page of the anti-graft agency, following a motion ex parte filed by counsel to ICPC, John Paul Okwor, Justice Okon Abang J. of Federal High Court 6, sitting in Abuja granted the order against the assets.

The statement read in part: “The properties include an estate of 60 buildings at Plot No. MF1296 (10.9ha), Sabon Lugbe South West Extension (Goza Airport Road), Abuja, and a property at Plot No. ED1295 (9.6ha) located at Sabon Lugbe South West Extension (Goza Airport Road), Abuja.

“Bintu, a Deputy Commandant, and her company are standing trial before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in CHARGE NO: FCT/HC/CR/101/2013 for using her company to hoodwink unsuspecting members of the public into subscribing for allocation in a proposed housing estate while passing off the said estate project as a collaboration with her employer.

“In the course of the trial, Bintu jumped bail, and available information indicates that she is out of the country,” the statement concluded.
