Angry investors of the now crashed MBA trading and capital investment have protested to the Port Harcourt zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over the withholding of their funds running into billions by the company.

The embattled company crashed in November 2020 after what sources termed “insolvency of the business model” and financial irresponsibility of the management.

The company founded by Maxwell Odum left thousands of investors penniless.

It had promised to refund investors their capital, although sources say it is a time-buying gimmick.

The Central Bank of Nigeria has said,125,397 investors deposited a total of N171,128,219,041.00, into accounts belonging to MBA Trading and Capital Investment Limited.

The scheme which promised a 15 per cent return on investment to depositors, crashed in November, leaving its investors hanging with promises of return of deposited capital.

The court on the 11th of February ordered that accounts maintained in any bank in Nigeria by the company be forthwith frozen for a period of time sufficient for the Central Bank of Nigeria to conclude the ongoing investigation and inquiry into the affairs of the Company.

The accounts include 39 Naira bank accounts domiciled in Access Bank, EcoBank, FCMB, GTB, Suntrust, Stanbic IBTC, Sterling Bank, UBA, Union Bank, Unity Bank and Zenith Bank.

Part of the allegations against MBA which founded by Maxwell Odum is that he mismanaged investor’s funds by paying billions of naira to Pastor Chris’ Christ Embassy as a member and has continued to win the trophy as number one Top Partner Award which enables him receive Pastor Chris’ Presidential handshake.

Reacting to the court order, MBA informed its investors that it will be constrained to refrain from any further actions or statements that may affect or influence the ongoing investigation as the matter is now subjudice as it is before the court.

“It said “We have gathered that the actions of the Central Bank of Nigeria are well within the confines of their statutory obligations and was instigated by some investors against our earlier advise.

“These disruptions have interfered with our plans and incapacitated the steps we have initiated towards the realization of the repayment
of capital investments.

“Flowing from the above, we may not be able to continue to comment on any matter relating to our operations pending the determination of the investigation initiate by the Central Bank of Nigeria”.
