Oyewale stated: “As a ‘picker’ or ‘azaman’ in internet fraud lingo, investigations revealed that the suspect has collected and laundered over $300,000 for his syndicate members who are at large.
“Apart from internet fraud, EFCC’s investigations revealed that the suspect is equally involved in investment and banking fraud.
“He will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.”
