Nigerian Fraudster Dupes Major Bank In The US

One Onwuzuruike Kingsley Ikenna is now in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after operatives of the commission arrested him over suspected internet fraud.

Ikenna was arrested at his residence on the Uzuakoli Road by the Umunda junction in Umuahia, Abia State.

In a statement posted by the EFCC on its Facebook page, the suspect was nabbed on January 26, 2020 following intelligence report on his fraudulent activities.

Ikenna, it was gathered, specialised in business email compromise and identity fraud, while one of his victims was identified as a major bank in the United States of America.

The name of the American bank was, however not mentioned.

“Ikenna’s specialities are business email compromise and identity fraud. His victims include a major United States bank,” the statement read.

“Properties linked to the suspects are a mansion with swimming pool, a petrol station and nine units of three-bedroom apartments, all in Umuahia, and a palatial bungalow in his village.”

Some devices used for the illicit business were recovered from the suspect.

The suspect, the EFCC noted would be arraigned at the end of the ongoing investigation.
