One Irabor Kennedy Osasogie was arrested by Operatives from the Benin Zonal Command, of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged fraud.

In a statement, the anti-graft agency stated that Osasogie had allegedly defrauded Antje, a German citizen, of EUR17,000.

"The 21-year- old was arrested recently by the Commission following a petition by one Antje, a German citizen, complaining that the suspect defrauded her of €17,000," the statement read.

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.

Upon arrest, the suspect claimed he only received €12,850 from the petitioner.

The suspect will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
