According to Uwujaren, the 32-year-old year serial Canadian visa scammer, who owns a Garden in Mpape

A serial Canadian visa scammer, Enock Ifeoluwa Ogungbamigbe, was on Friday arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC).

A statement issued by the Spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren said Ogungbamigbe specialise in duping Nigerians desperate to migrate to Canada either to work or further their education, through fake visa and job offers.

According to Uwujaren, the 32-year-old year serial Canadian visa scammer, who owns a Garden in Mpape, a suburb of Abuja, was picked up at Transcorp Hotel, Abuja.

The EFCC spokesman said the suspect was nabbed by operatives of the commission when he responded to an appointment to procure a visa for an applicant intending to migrate to Canada.

He added that unknown to Ogungbamigbe, it was bait.

His arrest followed a petition by a victim who lost N5million to the suspect as processing fees for Visa to Canada,” the statement reads.

“The suspect had also promised the victim a job upon arrival in Canada. But he only delivered fake visas to the victims and all efforts to recover the money were futile.

“The suspect would be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.”

Gerald Irona’s Spokesman, Walter Duru disclosed this in a short message on Friday.
