Ogbonna while reacting to Enofe’s arrest warned the general public to beware of scammers and also cautioned fraudsters to desist from using him to defraud people.
Sharing a picture of the fraudster, he wrote: “This is to inform the public to be wary of all those who are using my name and picture to defraud unsuspecting innocent women in love relationship scams on social media.
“One of such is the recent case of a 23 years old boy, Kelvin Enofe, who duped an American lady of over 70 thousand US dollars, but as God would have it, some private investigators came to the lady’s rescue by revealing the true identity of the scammer.
“Upon the said investigation, Nigerian police went for Kelvin’s arrest, investigated the matter, and he is now standing trial at the Lagos Nigeria Magistrate Court in Igbosere.
