The 26-year-old Ojo, who is also known as Obago was arrested in Oghara, Delta State following a petition received from a United States of America citizen, on his fraudulent activities.

The petitioner had alleged that the suspect impersonated one Raymond Bush who works in the US Treasury to defraud her of $268,000.00.
