Townflex Entertainment New, NIgeria. – Popular Nollywood actress, Mimi Orjiekwe, has reportedly been arrested and detained for allegedly committing a fraud of N700,000,000.
According to reports, she was arrested by the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) in Ikoyi, Lagos state on Monday night (July 17).
The reports claim that Mimi failed to deliver on a contract worth N700,000,000 that was awarded to her by a businessman named Mr. Micheal Diongoli.
The payment for the contract was made directly to Mimi’s account for the supply of specific household interior-design furniture items, but she did not fulfill the agreement, as stated by Blogger, Cuttie Julels.
Mr. Diongoli lodged a petition with the Ikoyi Law Enforcement Police Department to help locate and arrest Mimi. Prior to her arrest, Mimi had been evading authorities for nearly two months after receiving payment from the businessman.
Sharing details of her arrest on Instagram, Cuttie Julls wrote, “It’s largely rumoured in Mimi’s close circus that the actress had previously mentioned to few that she was confident Mr Michael Diongoli would remain behind bars for a long time when he had issues with the Nigerian Interpol.
“Guess fate got on the wrong side of Mimi as Michael Diongoli has been released by the Interpol and has been expecting Mimi to complete the job he paid her for but all efforts have been unsuccessful as Mimi is suspected to have used the money for other personal interests.”
