The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Precious Ojo, aka Obago, a suspected internet fraudster.

The 26-year-old was apprehended in Oghara, Delta State, following a petition received from an American citizen regarding his activities.

The petitioner alleged that the suspect impersonated one Raymond Bush, who works in the United States Treasury, to defraud the victim of $268,000.00.

Ojo, who was arrested at his hotel in Oghara, confessed that he built the property with the proceeds of the alleged crime.

Other items recovered from him include a white Mercedes-Benz with personalised plate number as well as mobile phones.
