Interpol Declares Gloria Osei and Husband Wanted
Gloria Igberaese and Muyiwa Folorunsho, a Nigerian couple, have been proclaimed wanted by the Interpol over allegations of a multi-million dollar investment fraud.
The suspects are said CEOs of Divergent Enterprise working organizations like Landlagos, PorkMoney, Hyberfactory and Porkoyum, among different organizations that they purportedly used to defraud a great many Nigerians in a large number of Ponzi plans connected to them.
In one case, the couple, whose online media presence acquired them the titles "Bonnie and Clyde," purportedly duped financial investors out of N1 billion.
“These funds were however diverted to personal use, including for the purchase of luxury properties and foreign citizenship,” victims said in a January 21, 2021, petition to federal authorities.
The warrants for their arrest were separately issued by the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court. They are wanted for obtaining money under false pretence and stealing.
“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 Intepol section of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos said along with physical descriptions.
“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,” the documents further said.
In 2019, the couple's former employees accused them of fraud, creating a toxic work environment and deducting salaries unfairly over trivial issues. They have since come under heavy scrutiny on Twitter.
One of the alleged former employees identified as Ada accused the couple of defrauding clients and keeping their married status from public space.
However, in their defence, they denied ever mistreating any staff member.
“For those who are unhappy with my perceived treatment of them while working for me, I sincerely apologize, and I do hope that over time, as you venture into creating businesses of yours that you get to understand why some things however unpalatable are totally necessary if one is to survive as a business owner in Nigeria,” she wrote. The couple also denied all allegations of corruption.
They were declared wanted following a petition filed by Chijioke Ukaegbu and other victims. Intelligence research firm Sylnam Strategies coordinated the petition against the suspect.
