The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Ehioboh Lucky, 24, for impersonating the Chairman of Globacom, Dr. Mike Adenuga.
The suspect was arrested following a complaint by one Abiola Olalekan Ogunseye whom the suspect has defrauded up to the tune of N1,028,770.
The suspect, who hails from Edo State, according to the command’s spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, opened a Facebook account with the name and picture of the business mogul which he has been using to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
Oyeyemi stated that, “one of Ehioboh’s victims, Abiola Olalekan Ogunseye, came into contact with him on Facebook where he promised to get employment for him at Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) but that the victim has to pay N1.5 million to settle some members of the management board of the corporation who will influence his appointment.
“The sum of N1,028,770 had already been paid to the suspect before the victim realized that he was a fraudster.
