Upon arrest, the suspect confessed he received £250,000.00 from the complainant in Bitcoin, FedEx, and gift cards.
On what he did with the money, the suspect averred that they were expanded on cars, gold chains, and landed properties, among others.
A statement issued by the anti-graft agency said some of the items recovered from the suspect include mobile phones, laptops, sim cards, and landed property.
According to the statement, the suspect will be charged in court as soon as investigations are concluded.
