Issa Tchiroma Bakary explained that the MIDA mounted a Ponzi scheme enticing its victims by claiming that it would pay huge interest on their investments or savings.

For instance, for those who invest CFA12,500 they were promised CFA70,000 within a short period of time. Thanks to this scheme, the initiators collected billions. 

He finally announced that those initiators have been arrested and would be brought to justice.
