Operatives of the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) in Lagos have arrested former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu. The former Lagos State number two citizen was apprehended yesterday at her residence in Lagos Island.

She was declared wanted by the police in 2013 in connection with an alleged N130 million land scam.

Ojikutu was accused of fraudulently obtaining N130million from one Cajethan Okekearu, conniving with her son, Samson Adebisi Ojikutu to dupe their victim.

A statement released by the SFU spokesperson, Ngozi Isintume-Agu disclosed that the former deputy governor and her son, who is presently in the United States, “were parties to the sale of the land and both signed the agreement given to the Complainant and obtained the sum of N130 million from him.”

Ngozi Isintume-Agu noted that the suspect admitted the crime but explained it as a genuine mistake of plot identification. She then refunded the sum of N50 million to the complainant and promised to refund the balance as soon as she had disposed of two other properties she had put up for sale.
