A foreign investor in Nigeria , Taiwanese, Ivy Hung has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Department of State Services, DSS and the Police of having been compromised in a case of $1.1m fraud she reported to them.
In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday, the Taiwanese called on President Bola Tinubu to rescue her by intervening in the fraud allegedly perpetrated against her company, Polleen Corporation by one Mr. Chiedu Christian Nwosu.
She lamented that all attempts to bring Mr. Nwosu to justice over the $1,164,646 fraud has proved abortive as according to her, operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Department of State Security , DSS and the Police “have all been obviously compromised.”
Speaking further, the Taiwanese pleaded with the Federal Government of Nigeria to protect the human rights of foreign investors in the country to avoid being discouraged from investing more.
Ivy Hung alleged that her company had between 2006 to 2017 supplied goods to Sahara Tooling Ltd, owned by Mr. Chiedu Christian Nwosu, and his wife, Mrs. May Ifeanychukwu Nwosu, but they refused to pay back the amount totalling $1,164,646.
She described Polleen Corporation as an experienced investor company from Taiwan, based in Nigeria for many years, doing business and supporting the federal government’s quest for direct foreign investment.
Narrating her ordeal to Journalists in Abuja, she said: “Sahara Tooling Ltd, a company registered with No. 5 Winning Street, Asaba, Delta state with RC Number: 1232007, a joint venture company owned by Nwosu and his wife, Mrs. May Ifeanychukwu Nwosu, a medical nurse at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra state, received goods from our company, Polleen Corporation, on credit basis.”
“After they sold the shipment, they refused to pay us the money for the products. Instead, Mr. Chiedu and his wife, May diverted the money to personal use by investing some of the money into a transport company, African Eagle Multi-Transport Services Limited.”, she further alleged.
According to her, they had in mid 2017 petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC after which Mr Nwosu was apprehended for allegedly defrauding their company, Polleen Cooperation, to the tune of, USD $1,164,646 but was later let off the hook.
She wondered why the EFCC let him off the hook, alleging that the operatives may have been compromised.
“Everybody has been compromised. The issue is racial discrimination we have in this country.
“I know this took place under the Buhari regime. I know there is a new government under Tinubu and we have a new EFCC chairman now. We even have a new NSA.
“Last week we went to EFCC and asked for us to see our original cheque. You need to see how they embarrassed us”, she lamented.
