Antje claimed that Osasogie offered to assist her in recovering the funds, but then cheated her out of €17,000.

According to EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren, the suspect stated upon arrest that he only received €12,850.

“The suspect will be charged in court as soon as the investigation is completed,” Uwujaren added.
