EFCC arrests man for $200,000 bitcoin fraud in Lagos
Legit.ng previously reported that EFCC arrested one Precious Ofure Omonkhoa for an alleged bitcoin investment scam.
A statement on the anti-graft agency's website on Friday, November 12, indicates that Omonkhoa was arrested on Monday, November 8, in the Ikoyi area of Lagos, following credible intelligence received about his illegal activities.
The arrested suspect allegedly posed as Moshem Cnich, a Swedish national, to defraud unsuspecting victims of their hard-earned money by claiming that he runs a bitcoin scheme, where people invest money to make huge returns.
