The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Lagos Zonal Office, has arrested eight suspected internet fraudsters, one of whom allegedly attempted to pay for a Sports Utility Vehicle worth N44m in Bitcoin.
Our correspondent learnt that one of the suspects, Tobiloba Ogundiyan, has been accused by the EFCC of committing online fraud and converting his loot to cryptocurrency.
An EFCC source said, “Ogundiyan acquired his wealth from internet fraud, layered it into a Bitcoin account and finally integrated it by approaching a car shop owner in Lekki to purchase a Range Rover Vela P380 2018 model worth N44m ($97,626 USD in Bitcoin) sometime in March 2021.”
