Precious Ofure Omonkhoa (allged fraudster), Obi Cubana (CEO Cubana Group)
EKO HOT BLOG reports that one Precious Ofure Omonkhoa, a Lagos-based Nigerian who pretended to be a Swede, was detained by the EFCC for an alleged bitcoin investment scam.
Omonkhoa was apprehended in Ikoyi on November 8, 2021, after the Commission obtained credible intelligence concerning his illicit operations.
The defendant admitted to laundering the proceeds of his fraudulent activities by acquiring a piece of land worth $150,000USD through bitcoin from CASA-Cubana, a project sponsored by the Cubana Group, after his detention.
A bitcoin wallet containing $50,000 USD was discovered during his detention.
Omonkhoa allegedly posed as Moshem Cnich, a Swedish national, to defraud unsuspecting victims of their hard- earned money by claiming that he runs a bitcoin scheme, where people invest money to make huge returns.
Preliminary investigation also revealed that the suspect engaged in a dating scam and had defrauded two victims in Canada.
The suspect will soon be charged to court.
