If
you mingle amongst the crème de la crème of Nigeria’s Federal Capital
Territory you will definitely know Ms. Vera Johnson or somebody who
knows her. She has no professional background, but she has contacts of
everybody who make things happen in Nigeria ranging from Senate
President to Commissioner of Police.
One
of her tricks is to go to public events with a photographer whose job
is to snap her when talking to highly placed individuals and she will
then place the picture in her phoney NGO office to show the world she is
indeed a “Gbogbo Bigz Girls”.
Those
gullible enough to buy into her tricks were duped of various sums of
money on the pretext of helping them secure contracts or purchase plots
of land in choice area of the FCT. Many complaints lodged with police by
those she defrauded did not yield any result as she has contacts with
top rank officers who ensures she does not sleep a night behind the
bars.
But
this time around, Vera Johnson was not that lucky as one of her victims
reported her case to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,
who took over the case, and for the first time in a long time, Vera was
detained and nobody could bail her out.
She
was on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 arraigned before Justice Ibrahim M. Buka
of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja on a four-count
charge of obtaining the sum of twelve million naira (N12,000,000) from
one Obiageli Obidiaso under false pretence of securing a plot of land
for her in Wuye District, Abuja.
She
was also accused of issuing a dud cheque using her registered
Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO, Global Network for Anti-Corruption
Initiative’s account name in the sum of four million Naira (N4,000,000).
