Vincent Ayewah (pictured above centre) conspired with six others to allegedly steal cheques and withdraw money meant for the beneficiaries of the Rose of Sharon Foundation. Mrs Alakija, who petitioned the EFCC, alleged that Vincent forged cheques of the foundation’s Stanbic IBTC Bank Account and got his sister Miss Florence Ayewah (pictured above, right) and their friends to cash the forged cheques by presenting them with fake identity cards.
In the course of investigation, it was discovered that Vincent used his position to enlist his family members as beneficiaries of the scheme. Florence was arrested at a Stanbic IBTC bank in Lagos while trying to cash a forged Cheque in the sum of N97, 000 in favour of one Ms Olubunmi Juliana Ishola. Besides Vincent and Florence, six other members of the syndicate involved in the scam and who have also been arrested are: George Ehizibolo, Onwuwa David, Okonkwo Chikadibia, Emmanuel Ayewah, Florence Ayewah and Chinyere Awanah.
The suspects will be arraigned in court soon.

hahaa! greed!
Linda u no go kuku post am so I go just dey look..
EFCC? I thought they said they only get involved in cases involving huge sums of money? At least that was what they told my Aunty when she took a case of N10m+ to them. They told her to go to the police. Why show double standards because its Mrs. Alakija?
This is what my country is known for... I hope one day we won't steal the moon & then hide it somewhere in our villa so only our kids and relative can use, see or benefit from the moon...
Greed! Taking the supposed faster course to riches with greed only lands you in more mess.
Nawaooo stealing foundation fund kwaaa????? Its nt fair naaaaa. Haba
Abeg make she forgive them,they also want a share in the billion billion,the economy is hard man must survive
Serves them right

Greed!! Can pple just stop to be greedy nd believe in themselves for once.
Thats the problem with Nigeria, corruption is so deep rooted. Its not only the politicans, from the gate man to the top. Its very sickening.
No employee is trust worthy in that country . SHAME SHAME

i will not condone stealing
but madam shd have bn quiet about this
d guy must v bn sooo poor
poverty is a disease o
that same rose of sharon, her security guards beg for money from tom dick nd wharaever
probably they r not well paid - how much is N65,000?
poor things
This type of fraud is very common. Even our government officials do it, short listing their family members in different list.
MSchewww, all igbos, money no go wound una igbos..tivvvvv
i am rather disaapointed that a billionier will make public and petition the efcc over a 3million naire fraud in her office. compared to the 1million dollars she makes a day from her oil block, what is 3mill naire? if she was paying her staff well, they wouldnt want to steal from her. she should have handled this matter privately as an inhouse matter and call in the police instead of petition the efcc. rather embarssing to me
Good for dem! Neky_luvv
See wat lack of job is doin to d youths
#rock gurl#
This story doesn't mk sense,I kant mk out anytin from it.
Hope there is still more story coming up.kos dis is too summarised.n doesn't mk brains
Ur point is
Ok
Nice story.
D guy looks familiar sha
D guy really goofed!Quick money making isn't advisable at all.he must be licking his wounds along with his cohorts!
big shame on you madam billionaire..how many staffs of your fellow billionaires abroad steal a measly 12,000pounds?
if you treat your workers right and give them a generous welfare benefit they will not steal or commit crimes to jeopardise their enviable position..my dad does not give all his staffs very high salaries but they are all extra loyal due to the generous welfare packages they have which includes educating their kids to at least secondary school level and they have medical benefits even the drivers
She should have let them go without pressing charges provided they refund the money. They are just hungry guys. Lets face it. Poverty is at the root of most of our problems.-NEWYORKER
I still wonder why Nigerians(some of us) always want to get money by crooked means....please let us learn to work hard and make money by honest means..let us forget all these bad leaders who have blazed the trail for obtaining money by fraudulent means.....God will fuck some people shaa...ping 277DDBCD for clothings @ affordable prices...holla
Let d goodtimes flow,d more d merrier Madam,so chill!
@ alvin,Yeah yeah..abeg live dat to d preacher.I no like goody goody like una. Abeg be real.
@ NCOND,GBAM!U don talk my mind.
@ stanley,beta make u go wash ya mouth with bleach,cos u de use d f word wit God.
Even with all ur billions u still have all d vanity in d world 2 care about 3,000,000 naira, d oil u have belongs to a community and all nigerians and u get fat milking it! I know revolution will come some day and u will have 2 justify all u have and pay with ur soul wat uve reaped from fellow nigerians ! As per d aid u should b content with wat u have and don't make a theif catch u stealing dey make more noise than d nobles!
I think it's rather wicked of Alakija to subject them to such embarrassment and unnecessary trauma. She should have simply sacked the guilty aides and used the police to retrieve her funds quietly. N3m is a paltry sum to have to go to this length just to prove a point. I can't understand some people sha.'
This should have been taken care of without publicizing it. If care is not taken she may be guilty of similar thing or worst in the past. What is 3mill to her wealth.Make I hia word jor!
Wanted to even say the boy Α̲̅πϑ girl look alike b4 i read that they were broda Α̲̅πϑ sista (see deir lip). It is well with deir soul Oº°˚˚°Âºh
Dumb statement, when has stealing become a means to justify disgruntlement ?. Dusk ass !
When they earn billion but using those tht re workg for them day nd night chicken change why won't they think of that or who wanna die in poverty so I don't blame them even d billionaire woman also can she tell us that all her billions re from her business alone mtchwwww God is watchg u all u people ruling naija lke we re slave of urs nd sendg all of ur own kids abroad to live God is not human
I think she should be asking herself why her staff would steal money in the first place. I feel sorry for her, despite all the money she has. More than 7000 microsoft employees are millionaires. How much be the money sef? It just shows poverty was the cause.
D richest woman in Africa is arresting him for stealing just 3million,dats a small deal to her now,shoulda let karma deal with him!!
And he must be a big fool for spoiling his reputation,career and chances with dis woman by going to steal just 3million!
Foolish fool,ur mates dey thief hundreds of millions!how much u wan use bribe EFCC na?see olodo thief!
this woman is a business woman, i'm surprise she doesn't know that you can not put an igbo man in charge of Money, honestly that's like locking a kid in a candy store
big igbo business man sef seat in his own shop and collect the money, do you think he doesn't have better things to do with his time
Ur soooo dumb its ubelievale, give the 1 Mill N a month n they will still try and steal two, its like you don't know our people well
The comments on this blog are outrageous!! As in regardless of how much this woman makes, is it justifiable to steal?? How many of you have companies, or employ people, do you sit down while they steal? This is how we raise a society of thieves, money by any means necessary, everyone wants to hammer overnight! Life isnt that way! Greed, no matter the situation is never right! I have seen my yankee bank account go down in the red! -$8, meaning I had $0!! Even then, it never crossed my mind, that I should go take someone's money, or find a rich man, and take some money from his wallet!!
These people who are stealing N3m today, will steal N30m if you let them, and these are the same people who will eventually become leaders and steal N3b!!! Folks, our biggest problem in Nigeria today is that we dont really understand how to tackle our issues, and the comments on here are indicative of that!!
Besides this money was for people who needed it, her foundation is for the underprivileged!! Greed is bad, the people the Ayewahs were stealing from are underprivileged!! Thats wickedness, and that has permeated our society! They got so greedy, that they didnt care where the money was going to, only where it was coming from, and how they could intercept it!
mahn nigerians you always want to have your cake and eat it. If it was a rich/well known person that stole 3million it would be a big deal and they would be called greedy. but because they stole it from a rich person it is somehow more acceptable, because they are poorer, or you assume she didn't pay them well. And not that their plain greedy? You don't think she's working for her money? This is why we never move forward. People need to take responsibility for their actions and stop hiding behind this income divide. it is ignorant
Thunder redesign ur facial structure for you. Which kine rough play be this? Is it that you can't read or you can't identify the other tribes there? Amadioha shave your head there. Fool!
anon January 15, 2013 at 12:24 AM tribalistic goat.
Good for her.
Common 3 #million Naira!...that's a DROP IN THE BUCKET FOR A BILLIONAIRE ALAKIJA; yet she wants her poorly paid workers to go to JAIL, even wasting our EFCC time to investigate this small-fry crime instead of chasing BIG TIME politicians who are stealing #BILLIONS of NAIRA!!!
Just what did Madam Alakija do to make her #millions?...dont tell me she did not WORK OVERTIME LAYING ON HER BACK during the OBJ days to get those STOLEN OIL RIGS!!!
#SHAMEonALAKIJA#
I owe you 2 bottles of whatever u drink. I seriously weep for Nigeria.
Alakija should please take several seats. Nonsense.!! How did she make her money? Didn't she steal from our commonwealth? Was she awarded oil blocks because she deserved it? Don't get me wrong, I'm sick and tired of nigerians always trying to be "sharp" but then this woman, of all people, should have known better than publicising this petty theft.
Vincent and his sister look alike
the woman is MEAN
All the people saying that Ms Alakija should not call EFCC for 3 millions, do you realise that somewhere is a poor beneficiary that maybe was depending on said money to further their studies, pay for heathcare or just feed who has been defrauded not Ms Alakija?
Do you understand that it will be hard for some of the victims to prove that they may not have received the money allotted to them in the first place? Do you realize that people would be less likely to donate to a foundation that fattens its staff personal accounts instead of helping the needy?
Mr Jay O or worever u be her brother leave yankee matter here we kno how things dey go I beg stay there with obama mrs alakija became a billionaira from no where rich pass operal wey I know from since child may like that I beg mike adenuga, jimoh Ibrahim etc billionaire over night no history God dey 3 million efcc na to no help people again and put them in congessted jails hissssssssssssss
3 million all these billionaire are funny 3 million Efcc if 30 million FBI, let's ask if mrs alakija is nice to them why will they steal, they only know how to do wasteful parties. Don't blame the guy when their madam go they use money play for party why won't they steal everybody need charity I beg efcc not get work if attendeding to such cash rubbish people all of them mrs alakija has a church can't she forgive them. If she is a christain u people should stop sending me text since u can use efcc to arrest somebody we new what Jesus did in the bible no be the same bible una dey use
This is India firlm
Your poverty is not lack of money and it is sooooo sad!
Thank you oooo,finally there is proof that not only chicken heads congregate around Linda. With the comments I have read today and juxtaposing with what I experience with my employees,I can boldly say Nigeria's biggesT problem is not the government but the mindsets of the people.We need a massive paradigm shift.If the topic were cheating or something emotional,people will rush to condemn,now person thief poor people money and everybody dey face their benefactor.What a shame!
See Vincent my boy o. No more buying beer for boys at bar beach police barracks.
Who ask for ur yankee bank account balance? Wash
What u don't seem to realize is that if she treats this lightly, some overconfident guy/girl would try to scam her for $1m, so it's better she uses the greedy thief to set an example. If any staff feels he/she is not well paid where they work, kindly resign
And wat makes you think, the culprits are ibo? U don't slander! The bible say that he who acts and live in holiness is Righteous; Not he who condems. Bewarned!!!
chiii igbo people
Serves them right, be contented with what you have... loyalty and hard work would have been a way to get madam to take real good care of your economic situation not stealing from her...be loyal tom your master...one day he will recognize your hard work..think out of the box, there are opportunities within that are not illegal that can fetch that 3 million
Cant you read idiot? He was her employee!
Did you go to school? Cant u comprehend?
Let them go ke? So they can go steal else where? Are you a fool? She gave him employment and then he turns round and steals from her! Greed is the root here not poverty.
For her to be a billionaire, it shows she is diligent with money, so whether it is 3 naira or 3k, she has every right to keep a watchful eye over her money and deal mercilesly with anyone who tries to steal it!
They are guilty as charged. U see whr ur greed has landed you? *awon omo ale jatijati*...... We all know dt stealing is not good but at d same time the Bible says 'love your neighbours as yourself". Blv me, if by magic ds woman finds out this guy is her son, am sure d case iS no Case as she wil order thR release wit immediate effect.
If she was attacked by robbers or kidnappers(God forbid), won't she av offered them more?
Madam pls have mercy cos they are nt d only one affected bt their entire family.
*sigh sometimes we forget the benefits of being patient and chase after petty stuff

Jay O, Abeg take a seat joor. D supposed billions shes enjoying 2day, how did she manage 2 get it? From naija's oil bloc of which d proceeds are meant 2 use 2 make our lives(urs inclusive) better. But "using ur own words"these proceeds never got 2 us bcos she intercepted it and enriched herself stupendously with it. As a result u decided 2 run away 2 wherever u r 2 make a better living, or are u trying 2 tell me dat if things were better in naija 2day u won't b here? Don't stay there and insult other bloggers after all all wot they were trying 2 say is dat she really went over the top in handling this situation. A sack of the erring staffs and informing d police 2 retrieve d stolen funds is punishment enuff, which one is informing the EFCC over a theft of 3 mil? Abegiiii!!!!!
U wey dey talk abt igbo's, u must be a stupid Yoruba goat. Ofe mmany.
Let's be sensible for once, this is the same attitude that nigerians excude that makes most steal. So just because she is a billioniar, everyone should come and steal from her, tomorrow now you will her that she has gone bankrupt at that point who will help her. If everyone that works for her decides to steal am sure she won't be where she is today. If u r offered a salary and u feel its too small, u can always turn down the offer, there should be no excuse for fraud, big or small.
Lmaoooo...family forging business
Awon ole. They shld rot in jail
Point of correction Vincent is nt an igbo boy rather he's frm Edo,don't mean to be crude serves him right, he had all d opp and he thru it away..used to work in d same office as ds guy before d co. Liquidated..he was more like a handy guy..so usually he goes to house of expatriate to clean up d place and hlp out wen needed.they kept complaing of missing items until he was finally caught.he was lucky cos after much pleas he retained his job...tot he had changed..ds guy does nt ve a degree to think he wld get a job like that nd stil ve d mind to steal .his friends in d office call him "anini" why did he involve his siblings in ds..I pray nd ope he's really learnt from ds mess he got hmslf into.
Ope o!!!!!!!!!!!!! dis is good news infact let me call my family frnd may b dem never hear o, LiLi dats d man i commented wen u posted Mrs Folorunso's pix wen she won d richest African woman stuff dat man made my familyfrnd almost lost her addmission in Unilag,wit him come 2day come 2moro style d poor girl mother is a widow nd member of Rose of sharon foundation where a letter was given to her mum dat the foundation will assist to train 2 of her children in the University d girl got the addmission nd happily went there to present it and dat was the beginning of another drama, the man warned both d widow and her daughter nt to near that place again or even call him. the poor woman has to look for a way to raise the money o. i never knew d foudation was reliable nd owned by a meaninful person until u put up her pix dat day as d owner of the foundation, thank God they ve' been caught cos d man is giving d foundation a bad name cos pple wont knw its actually him doing those things they may think Mrs Alakija is just using Widows to seek fund frm international bodies.
Poverty is not an excuse for theft, if you are caught however your prosecutor chooses to punish or disgrace you is totally up to them. Stop blaming rich people for your poverty and understand the law of attraction. You are an architect of your own fortunes whether you agree or not.
U type like a stark illiterate.
Make it two cartons please. Some comments here make me want to smash my computer.
Go back to school.
Make it two cartons please. Some comments here make me want to smash my computer.

The only wicked person here is you and your dumb mindset. If you work so hard for your money do you expect some greedy fool to just come and steal it and let them go free?! Ode!
Thank you my brother! This is how it starts. It starts little then graduates ito bigger thefts. Isnt that how Ibori started? Awon ole oshi jati jati!
Miss Olamide Morgan you be daft no be small walai!
STEALING FROM FOUNDATION NOW ... PEOPLE ARE TOO GREEDY NOWADAYS

Ayewah is not an igbo name. Ignoramus
Ayewah is an edo name. Learn something about ur country
Ayewah is from edo state. Ha ha ha now you are a big clown
Anon9.32 pm ayewah is from edo state but in your blind hatred u don't know there are other tibes in nigeria. Fyi I am not igbo. I am lebanese and know ur country ppl more than ur sorry ass. Hater!!!!!!!!!!!!
She sef be thief abeg,d efcc she used today go still hunt her,am not saying what dey did is good but using efcc doesn't make any sense.police torture sef dey enuf for a lesson.
All dis naija billionaire na ogbonge ole and dey don't pay deir workers well,they love cheap labour,efcc is d height.I used to admire u,but I dislike u for dis.Alakija ur day go come.
My people perish bcos of ignorance. All of u like to talk rubbish. This family was taken care of by dis same foundation after they lost their dad. Rose of Sharon gave d mother n brother(Vin) a job n sponsored Florence thru her higher education(still running). Isn't it enough?, Mrs. Alakija only felt betrayed rather than robbed. So stop judging... D family na my neibors so I know exactly wot I'm writing
@anon 1.27..u don vex o..khai I cnt laff
I second that, you need to go to school. Who or what is 'operal'? As in really?

Crazy talks, some nigerians still think because someone is rich, then people should go ahead to steal their money without getting justice. When arm robbers now go to their houses to steal & deal with them messlesly, they come out to cry that Government should get security for the country, you don't need security, you need arm robbers , because that where they start from, if they can't get Alakijas money to steal , the next place is your houses. I pray that the supporters of this fraudulent act, be visited soon by robbers IJN Amen.
smh 3milla and effc are dancing up and down. nawa oh dem no get better work that nah why. people deyb steal billions and dem dey work free for street. as for mama abeg make she leave joor what is 3 milla to the billions she makes. its obvious you can never be satisfied with all the money you make shikena
