Operatives of the Benin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested one Irabor Kennedy Osasogie for alleged fraud.
A statement issued by EFCC’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren on Friday said the 21-year-old was arrested recently by the Commission following a petition by one Antje, a German citizen, complaining that the suspect defrauded her of €17,000.
He said 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.
“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,” Uwujaren said.
