The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Rebecca Omokamo Godwin-Isaac, an Abuja-based realtor, after a Federal High Court ordered her custody for her trial over alleged land fraud, forgery, and money laundering.

The court directed EFCC to produce her for the continuation of her criminal case, which involves claims that she defrauded victims of over ₦500 million between 2023 and 2024 through forged documents.

Rebecca’s legal team argued she was held under house arrest for 23 days due to EFCC operatives surrounding her residence, but the prosecution countered that she locked herself inside and violated bail conditions by traveling outside court jurisdiction.

The judge ordered her arrest after reviewing both parties’ claims, while also dismissing a motion to maintain the status quo over disputed properties.The case includes multiple defendants, including her husband and companies linked to the alleged fraud.EFCC alleges proceeds were laundered through company accounts, with witnesses reporting lost investments due to fake land titles.The civil suit involving the disputed properties was adjourned until October 15 as the court prioritizes a third-party joinder application.
