Fred Ajudua was arrested and detained by police in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, for alleged land fraud and forgery.
According to SaharaReporters, Ajudua had been seized and jailed in Abuja “for three days now”.
SaharaReporters revealed in 2022 that Ajudua, who was on trial for allegedly cheating a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi, of $8.4 million, was exposed in leaked phone calls with police officials and some high magistrates.
According to the online newspaper, the most recent fraud trial for Ajudua occurred in December 2021, when a Lagos High Court ordered him to take a COVID-19 test at the Yaba Infectious Diseases Centre’s laboratory.
Justice Josephine Oyefeso issued the ruling after Ajudua failed to appear in court for his trial three times.
