Nigerian businesswoman Gloria Igberaese and her husband, Muyiwa Folorunsho, owners of PorkMoney, have been placed on the wanted list of Interpol for their involvement in a multi-million dollar investment fraud scheme.
It will be recalled that they signed Ghanaian actor John Dumelo as a brand ambassador in 2018; after which he used his social media pages to promote the company, especially Instagram.
But according to interpol, Gloria and her husband have allegedly defrauded investors of over N1 billion.
Gloria and Muyiwa are reportedly the CEOs of Divergent Enterprise, operators of other businesses including Landlagos, PorkMoney (the company John Dumelo worked with), Hyberfactory and Porkoyum.
Some aggrieved victims reported them to the federal authorities in January 21, 2021 in a petition which reads in part; “These funds were, however, diverted to personal use, including for the purchase of luxury properties and foreign citizenship.”
In lieu of this, a Division of the Federal High Court in Lagos has issued warrants of arrest, stating that they are wanted for obtaining money under false pretense and stealing.
The statement reads; “He is wanted by the police for the offence of obtaining money under false pretence, stealing and diversion of fund,” a notice issued by the Interpol section of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos said with descriptions of their physical qualities.
“If seen, arrest and hand over to the nearest police station or, to the office of the commissioner of police Interpol Section Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex Alagbon Ikoyi Close, Lagos.”
