The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has shared photos showing the opulent lifestyle of a suspected internet fraudster, who was arrested at his palatial residence in Ughelli, Delta State, yesterday.
The 34-year-old suspect, identified as Akegor Godbless Omamuyorwi, allegedly duped one of his victims, a Canadian, of $390,950.34 (Canadian dollars).
The suspect was reportedly arrested by operatives of the Benin Zonal Office of the Commission.
According to a statement shared by the Commission on its verified Twitter handle, @officialEFCC, Omamuyorwi’s arrest was “triggered by a petition from a bank following complaint by one Canadian resident alleging that she had transferred the sum of $390,950.34 Canadian dollar to two different accounts”.
The statement adds: “He hoodwinked his ‘lover’ victim with the impression that he was sending her a package but demanded for money under the pretext of paying medical bills, legal fee and diplomatic fees.
“Already, he has made useful statements and will be arraigned in court soon.”
