EFCC Arrests Precious Ofure For $200,000 Bitcoin Fraud, Links Suspect To Cubana by LeeSantos(m): 1:42pm On Nov 26, 2021

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has apprehended Precious Ofure Omonkhoa for an alleged bitcoin investment scam.

Wilson Uwujaren, Head of Media, announced the arrest in a statement on Friday.

He said Precious was nabbed in the Ikoyi area of Lagos, following credible intelligence about his illegal activities.

Precious allegedly posed as Moshem Cnich, a Swedish national, to defraud unsuspecting victims.

The suspect claimed that he ran a bitcoin scheme where people invest money to make huge returns.

Preliminary investigation, Uwujaren noted, revealed that Precious engaged in a dating scam and had defrauded two victims in Canada.

"The suspect confessed to have laundered the proceeds of his fraudulent activities by purchasing a piece of land worth $150,000 through bitcoin from CASA-Cubana, a project being run by the Cubana Group", he said.

Cubana Group is owned by popular socialite, Obinna Iyiegbu better known as Obi Cubana.

It is unclear if the EFCC questioned the businessman about Precious' transaction with CASA-Cubana during his 4-day interrogation in Abuja.

Uwujaren added that upon his arrest, $50,000 was found in the suspect's bitcoin wallet. He will soon be charged to court.

embarassed These northern clowns are looking for a way to tarnish his dude's image, yet they leave the fashion designer Abba Kyari, Ganduje and the money laundering Gumi. Anything with a northerner at the helm of its affairs is destined to be rotten like the current state of the country, cursed foolish people.

They're really working very hard to mess Ovi Cubana up. Really reaching and struggling to make sure any search on the Internet now turns up something fraudulent about the Cubana franchise.
