Operatives of the Benin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested one Irabor Kennedy Osasogie for alleged fraud.
The anti-graft agency, in a statement on Friday, December 23, 2022, said Osasogie allegedly defrauded a German citizen, Antje of the sum of €17,000.

The petitioner claimed that she met Osasogie through social media after she was defrauded of €68,000 by one Michael Patrick.

Upon arrest, the suspect claimed he only received €12,850 from the petitioner.
The suspect will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
