EFCC Arrests Halimat Tejuoso Over Alleged ₦600 Million Fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested Halimat Tejuoso over an alleged ₦600 million fraud involving Mary Oluwaseye Sholoye and Ibrahim Gidado. The EFCC said Tejuoso was arrested on September 15, 2026, after she allegedly failed to honour an invitation following her release on administrative bail. The commission had declared her wanted in April after she reportedly could not be reached. The EFCC alleges that Tejuoso obtained the money from Sholoye by false pretence in a transaction connected to Gidado, who has already been arraigned. Tejuoso reportedly told investigators that Gidado defrauded her of the funds. The allegations remain unproven, and all parties are presumed innocent unless a court decides otherwise.
