Before the year 2020 came to an end, Mayowa Olukehinde, a Nigerian lawyer, preached finance and investment to many Nigerians. He took it a little further by assuring those hooked by his crusade that their lives would be revolutionised if they invested with Breach Menders, an investment firm of his.
With an air of authority, Olukehinde communicated his plans to numerous potential investors, and many eagerly embraced the opportunity, ready to embark on a worry-free future.
Among them were Tobiloba (not real name) and three of his colleagues, who invested N1 million with Breach Menders in January 2021. But their optimism was short-lived, as they soon discovered they had fallen victim to a carefully orchestrated scheme.
Olukehinde promised his investors a staggering return on interest of 20 percent monthly for six months. But not even once did he pay his investors before he vanished without trace.
As it became evident that Olukehinde had defrauded his investors, he resorted to requesting additional time to repay their capital, citing the crashing forex market as his excuse. Eventually, he became completely unreachable until EQToday exposed his fraudulent activities.
AFTER EQToday’S STORY
EQToday published an exposé on November 13, 2021, detailing how Olukehinde had swindled his investors and vanished. Despite EQToday’s attempts to contact him via numerous texts, he remained unresponsive.
On February 10, 2022, Olukehinde got back to EQToday in a poorly written email, stating that the story published about him was not only false but one-sided.
He also threatened to slam EQToday with a lawsuit within a seven-day period if the story was not taken down. To this day, he has not filed a lawsuit, and neither has EQToday taken down the story.
FOUND IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
In May 2022, a Nigerian lawyer based in the United Kingdom (UK) contacted EQToday for updates on what he had read about Olukehinde.
The lawyer told EQToday he found himself and Olukehinde in a WhatsApp group where the latter was expose.questing that he had naira for sale in exchange for pounds and that he needed to find out if Olukehinde could be trusted.
A victim of his who would like to remain anonymous told EQToday he found out that Olukehinde has since changed the name of his company from Breach Menders to Burning Men to conceal his identity from Nigerians.
WHY OLUKEHINDE IS STILL A FREE MAN
Tobiloba told EQToday that although many of the investors have given up on their money, some determined people are willing to do what they can to get their money back.
He said the Nigerian lawyer who reached out to EQToday was willing to help, but on the condition that he and others raise professional fees.
“But the problem is that many people have given up and are not willing to raise money for anything. This has been the bone of contention, dragging the case and making it look like movement without motion,” he said.
When EQToday called him for comments, his line did not connect. Just as he did in 2021, he did not respond to a text sent to him at press time.
