The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Friday said its investigations have revealed that one PRECIOUS OFURE OMONKHOA, has linked CASA-Cubana, a project owned by OBINNA IYIEGBU otherwise known as OBI CUBANA, to fraud.
The EFCC revealed OMONKHOA confessed that he used proceeds from his alleged fraud to purchase land worth one hundred and fifty thousand US Dollars through bitcoin from the scheme being run by the Cubana Group.
The EFCC Head, Media and Publicity, WILSON UWUJAREN, revealed this in a statement, stressing that OMONKHOA allegedly posed as a Swedish national, MOSHEM CNICH, to defraud victims of their money.
The statement also noted operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command arrested the suspect last Monday in the Ikoyi area of Lagos, after he defrauded victims who invested in his bitcoin scheme, and two Canada-based victims on a dating scam.
The document also noted that $50,000USD was found in his bitcoin wallet, upon his arrest.
The anti-graft body noted that the suspect will be charged to court upon completion of the investigation.
