EFCC
Arrests Suspected Fraudster .
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), have arrested a suspected fraudster, Idowu Olanrewaju, for
defrauding an American citizen of the sum of $4 million through his company.
The suspect allegedly asked the victim to pay the
said amount into the account of his company, Total Intership Nigeria Limited,
ostensibly for the supply of crude oil in phony crude oil contract with the
victim.
The victim, however, sent a petition to the EFCC
after an exasperating wait for a consignment that never arrived.
An accomplice of the suspect, Joe Onwudimowei, who
operates the account of the company with a commercial bank, where the proceeds
of the said fake contract were deposited, was arrested June 18 and upon
interrogation, alleged that he handed all monies that passed through the account
to Olanrewaju and Yemi Osho .
On the 19th of June, both Olanrewaju and Osho were
arrested following a dawn raid on their homes by operatives of the EFCC.
Spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said the
suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
According to him, Olanrewaju who does not have any
reasonable source of income, was discovered to have several properties in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State’s capital and a 44-room hotel in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State
capital.
Also recovered from him, were a number of exotic
cars including, a 2014 Range Rover, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Range Evogue and
Honda CRV.
