Photo: Police Declare CEO Wanted Over Alleged N480m Fraud

The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, has declared the Chief Executive Officer, CEO of Chinmark Group, Ijiomah Marksman Chinedu, wanted for alleged investment fraud.

Chinedu was asked to appear before the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Interpol, at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

A special police gazette bulletin announced that a warrant of arrest was issued by the Magistrate Court of Lagos.

The Chinmark CEO is accused of cyber fraud and obtaining money by false pretences and money laundering to the tune of N480 million.

Chive GPS, a dispute resolution company which provides debt recovery solutions and other services, had petitioned the police.

The firm narrated how its client, “oblivious of the large-scale fraud ahead”, sent the money in question into multiple bank accounts controlled by Chinmark Group.

The transaction was designed to yield interest but at the expected time, “the chief masterminds, Ijiomah Marksman and Purity Marksman” reportedly fled Nigeria to the UAE or the South Pacific Island of Vanuatu.

Chive GPS said the suspect “may have coordinated this fraud alongside Amanda Chisom, Peter Awuzie, Happiness Awuzie, Linda Chinemelum Paul, Ada Ujaligwa, Timothy Benedict, and Harrison Gwamnishu”.

The petition also urged the police to have the Chinmark boss placed on a global red notice to allow security agencies monitor his movement.

GWG.ng had last year reported that one of the investors in Chinmark Group a crashed Ponzi scheme identified simply as Nuella died days after she reportedly attempted suicide.

It was gathered that on March 21 2022, about 4,500 aggrieved investors lashed the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Chinmark Group, Marksman Ijiomah, over unpaid funds invested in the company despite many deadlines given for a refund.

The outraged investors, for days, launched trials on social media, calling out Chinmark, Ijiomah, Chisom, Gwamnishu, and all those who promoted the company on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media platforms.

The pained investors lamented losing their hard-earned money to Chinmark while alleging that the group was fraudulent.

But before her death, Nuella was reportedly said to have invested a huge sum of money into the Ponzi scheme without informing her family members. After news broke out that the scheme crashed, the deceased was said to have attempted suicide.
