A 21-year-old man, Irabor Kennedy Osasogie has been arrested by operatives of the Benin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged fraud.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by the Spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren.
Uwujaren said Osasogie was arrested recently by the commission following a petition by one Antje, a German citizen, complaining that the suspect defrauded her of €17,000.
“The petitioner claimed that she met Osasogie through social media after she was defrauded of €68,000 by one Michael Patrick. She alleged that Osasogie offered to assist her in recovering the money but further defrauded her of €17,000,” the statement reads.
“Upon arrest, the suspect claimed he only received €12,850 from the petitioner.
“The suspect will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.”
