EFCC Nabs ‘Obago’ For Defrauding U.S. Citizen Of $268,000

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it arrested a suspected internet fraudster, Precious Ojo, aka ‘Obago’, in Oghara, Delta.

EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren confirmed this in a statement on Thursday.

According to the statement, Ojo, 26, was arrested 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. The suspect was arrested in his hotel in Oghara,” said EFCC. “He confessed to building the luxury hotel with his proceeds of the said crime.”

The anti-graft agency added, “Other items recovered from him included a Mercedes Benz car with personalised plate number and mobile phones. The suspect will be arraigned soon.”
