EFCC Arrests Suspected Fraudster For $4m Scam (pictured) by Islie: 3:41am On Aug 13, 2015
The heist was earned through a phony crude oil contracts with the victim, wiring the said amount into the account of Total Intership Nigeria Limited ostensibly for the supply of crude oil. The bubble burst after the victim was left clutching the air, in an exasperating wait that ended with a petition to the EFCC.

A suspected fraudster, Idowu Olarenwaju, alias Capt Anthony Abel Saramoh ,has been arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC for defrauding an American Citizen of the sum of Four Million dollar ($4,000,000) through his company, Total Intership Nigeria Limited.

The heist was earned through a phony crude oil contracts with the victim, wiring the said amount into the account of Total Intership Nigeria Limited ostensibly for the supply of crude oil. The bubble burst after the victim was left clutching the air, in an exasperating wait that ended with a petition to the EFCC.

One Joe Onwudimowei, an accomplice who operates the account of Total Intership Nigeria Limited with Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) where the proceeds of the said fake contract was deposited, was arrested on 18th June, 2015 and upon interrogation, fingered Idowu Olanrewaju and one Otunba Yemi Osho as the people he handed over all monies that passed through the account.

On the 19th of June, 2015, the duo of Idowu Olanrewaju and Yemi Osho were arrested following a dawn raid on their homes by operatives of the EFCC.
According to Onwudimowei, Olanrewaju sometime in 2010, instructed him to withdraw the sum of Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N3, 500, 000.00) for Chief Yemi Osho. Osho, he claimed, in turn handed over the money to two people sent to him by Olarenwaju.

This singular involvement of Osho was what made Olanrewaju confess to the fraud as he had initially denied knowing Onwudimowei. When Olanrewaju was confronted with the testimony of Osho, sources at the EFCC disclosed that he was speechless and began to plead for mercy.

Olanrewaju who does not have any reasonable source of income was discovered to have several properties in Port Harcourt, Rivers State and a 44 rooms hotel in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. Also recovered from were a number of exotic cars including, a 2014 Range Rover, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Range Evogue and Honda CRV.

Spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren says the suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.

lol... Many babes toto don suffer on top that one na... That's one of the reasons why many of them engage fraud--prestige, albeit undeserved.

Our society has gone to the dogs.

Met some guys last two months who claimed they are into crude business.

They have NNPC allocation to shift crude abroad. They have already concluded negotiations with some foreign investors who are ready to move money into their accounts. Upon the condition that the present a bank guarantee.

My own role was to help them facilitate the bank guarantee from my office.

I asked for the documents, after reviewing I knew they were fraudulent. I asked for 80per deposit face value for bank guarantee into their account, they are promising me what they will give me in return if I can assist.

I asked them to Bleep off. Closed their account. I no want EFCC wahala.
