Precious Ojo, also known as Obago, a suspected internet fraudster, has been detained by agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s Benin Zonal Commander in Oghara, Delta State.
According to a statement issued by EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren on Wednesday, the 26-year-old was seized due to a petition of his fraudulent activities that was received from a citizen of the United States of America.
He said, “The petitioner had asserted that the suspect had impersonated Raymond Bush, who works in the US Treasury, to swindle her $268,000.00.
According to Uwujaren, the suspect was detained at his Oghara hotel.
“He admitted using the supposed proceeds of his crime to create the opulent hotel.
Mobile phones and a Mercedes-Benz with a personalised licence plate were among the additional goods found on him.
The suspect will shortly be presented in court, the speaker said.
