Trouble started for Edeh when the EFCC received a petition from one of her victims, who alleged that she claimed to be collaborating with Gold Club Investment Scheme, a purported affiliate of Gold Coin Community Help, GCCH.
She further claimed that the scheme invests depositors’ funds giving them mouth-watering returns after five months.
The petitioner alleged that an enrollment fee of N41,000 was paid for registration, N39,000 for enrollment into the $100 category, and N39,000 as a re-commitment fee, totaling N119,000.
