The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared a couple, Onyinmiebi (Miebi Baraza) and Beatrice Bribena, wanted. Bribena, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Bayelsa State, is pastor at Christ Embassy Church.
An alert by the anti-graft agency called on those with information about them to contact any of its offices across Nigeria. The agency is searching for the duo over alleged fraud to the tune N2 billion.
The Bribenas are the promoters of Baraza Multipurpose Cooperative Society Limited.
He is accused of scamming thousands of billions of naira after promising a 25 percent Return on Investment (ROI) monthly, with catch words, such as: “We are dedicated to improving members’ lives via financial empowerment, business financing, thrift & credit, housing, scholarship, etc.”
Meanwhile EFCC has sealed the company’s building, with branches in Port-Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, and some other parts of the country.
Baraza had informed investors that it was trading with their money on forex platforms but stopped after it could no longer pay returns.
