A company, Blueship Consult Ltd. has been dragged to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, by a human rights activist, Prince Kpokpogri, over an alleged contract scandal.
In a petition dated May 18 and signed by a legal practitioner, Ovie Justice-Osefia of the CEDAR WALL and PARTNERS, Mr Kpokpogri accused the company of financial fraud, cheating, and breach of trust over their failure to execute a 10x7m infinity pool project at Guzape Area in Abuja.
According to him, the company had collected the sum of N16million from him but failed to execute the project within the six-week stipulated time of completion.
Mr Kpokpogri specifically requested the EFCC to investigate and bring to justice one Michael Chidinma-Ifejia, Victoria Chinelo, Ifejia Folakemi Faphunda and others now at large for failing to carry out the construction project.
The petitioner added that after the negotiations and written agreement which took place in Lagos on August 13, 2020, the company agreed to execute the project within six weeks after the mobilization fee was paid into the company account.
However, after the total sum had been paid into BLUESHIP CONSULT LTD Keystone bank account number 1007320832, the company failed to carry out construction as agreed within the stipulated time.
In the petition, the law firm further alleged that the company’s conduct portrayed suspicious acts of fraud, cheating and obtaining money under false pretense.
The petitioner, therefore, urged the anti-graft agency to use its office to promptly look into the complaints bordering on fraudulent dealings.
Mr Kpokpogri also appealed for justice to be served in respect of the petition as well as to protect Nigerians from the activities of the company.
