The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) yesterday said it has arrested a suspected fraudster,
Idowu Olarenwaju (alias Capt Anthony Abel Saramoh) has been defrauding
an American Citizen of $4million through his company, Total Intership
Nigeria Limited.
The suspect blew the fraud cash on......
exotic cars, acquisition of several properties in Port Harcourt, and a
44-room hotel in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The posh cars recovered from the suspect included a 2014 Range Rover, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Range Evogue and Honda CRV.
According to a statement by the Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren.
The statement said: “The heist was
earned through a phony crude oil contracts with the victim, wiring the
said amount into the account of Total Intership Nigeria Limited
ostensibly for the supply of crude oil.
“The bubble burst after the victim was left clutching the air, in an exasperating wait that ended with a petition to the EFCC.
“One Joe Onwudimowei, an accomplice who
operates the account of Total Intership Nigeria Limited with Guaranty
Trust Bank (GTB) where the proceeds of the said fake contract was
deposited, was arrested on 18th June, 2015 and upon interrogation,
fingered Idowu Olanrewaju and one Otunba Yemi Osho as the people he
handed over all monies that passed through the account.
”On the 19th of June, 2015, the duo of
Idowu Olanrewaju and Yemi Osho were arrested following a dawn raid on
their homes by operatives of the EFCC.”
The statement said the suspect, who has no reasonable source of income, was speechless when confronted with facts.
Drop a comment....thanks!
