The operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested Ibeh Theophilus Uche, the CEO of 10 Kobo Wine Place, Ikotun, Lagos alongside his mother for their alleged involvement in computer-related fraud.

The 28-year-old suspect was said to have been arrested in his room in Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, following credible intelligence reports about his alleged criminal activities.

During interrogation by EFCC investigators, Uche, who presents himself variously as Rachael Armstrong, Keanu Reeves, Rebekah Schwarzenberger, Keanu Private, Elizabeth Hortman and Stefan Paulson, confessed to being into Bitcoin investment scam, romance scam and identity theft.

The suspect further confessed to have defrauded his victims of about N50m, since he started the fraudulent act in 2020.

The EFCC revealed that the suspect had been using a First Bank account belonging to his mother, who is one of his accomplices, to launder the proceeds of his alleged criminal activities.
