The operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested a 21-year-old man, Irabor Kennedy Osasogie, in Edo State for alleged €17,000 fraud.
Osasogie was arrested recently by the EFCC operatives following a petition by a German citizen, Antje, complaining that the suspect defrauded her of €17,000.
The petitioner claimed that she met Osasogie through social media after she was defrauded of €68,000 by one Michael Patrick.

She alleged that Osasogie offered to assist her in recovering the money but further defrauded her of €17,000.
This was disclosed via a statement issued on Friday by the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren.
Uwujaren stated that the suspect, upon arrest, claimed he only received €12,850 from the petitioner.
The spokesman of the anti-graft agency, however, noted that Osasogie will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
