The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it arrested a suspected internet fraudster, Precious Ojo, aka โObagoโ, in Oghara, Delta.
EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren confirmed this in a statement on Thursday.
According to the statement, Ojo, 26, was arrested following a petition received from a United States of America citizen on his fraudulent activities.
โThe petitioner had alleged that the suspect impersonated one Raymond Bush, who works in the US Treasury, to defraud her of $268,000. The suspect was arrested in his hotel in Oghara,โ said EFCC. โHe confessed to building the luxury hotel with his proceeds of the said crime.โย
The anti-graft agency added, โOther items recovered from him included a Mercedes Benz car with personalised plate number and mobile phones. The suspect will be arraigned soon.โ
