A notorious fraudster, Chinedu Marksman Ijeoma has returned just more than two years after Chinmark Group vanished with billions of naira belonging to numerous investors, the company made an online appearance on Wednesday.

The investment company had been silent since 2022 when its failure to pay thousands of investors their funds headlined the news. Many Nigerians cried out for their money without getting a refund.

At exactly 12:03 pm on Wednesday, the company made an announcement on its Facebook page via a post with the heading: “A New Dawn for Chinmark Group”.

“We are back, stronger and more dedicated to our mission of creating impactful solutions and empowering communities. With fresh vision and renewed commitment, we’re building a brighter future — together.
“Ad astra per aspera” — Through hardships to the stars. Join us on this journey. The future awaits!” it stated.

Hours later, Chinmark Group made two more posts, requesting Nigerians to “follow us as we build a brighter future through global investments and community empowerment”.

Although the comments section of the three recent posts on the Facebook page was locked, FIJ observed that they have garnered thousands of reactions altogether.

When checked the Instagram account of Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah, the Chief Executive Officer of Chinmark Group, the same posts appeared there.

The UK number (+44 7897 014077) on the Facebook page of the company is the same as the one on Ijiomah’s Instagram page.

A screenshot shared by a Facebook user, seemingly from Ijiomah’s account, displayed the following message: “Your N10m gives you N480,000 monthly in Chinmark partnership. Let me be your manager 09084442018.”

When we dialled the displayed number, an automated voice revealed that it had been barred from receiving calls.
