The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that operatives of its Benin Zonal Command have arrested one Irabor Kennedy Osasogie for alleged fraud.
The commission said in a statement that it arrested the 21-year-old man recently following a petition by one Antje, a German citizen, who complained that the suspect defrauded her of €17,000.
The EFCC 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 commission assured that Osasogie will be charged to court as soon as it concludes its investigation.
