Megbowon Olumide Taiwo, an American deportee, has been arrested.
He was arrested over an alleged visa scam in Akure, the Ondo state capital.
Taiwo was arrested by men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, in the state.
He said that “I collected the N300,000 from the female victim as I was planning to relocate to another country using the money I collected from her.
Reports had it that the suspect duped unsuspecting number of people in Okitipupa area of the state, under the guise of facilitating their visa issuance to the United State of America (USA)
He reportedly fled from Okitipupa and relocated to Akure, where he was arrested by men of the NSCDC after the incident was reported.
Confirming the arrest of the suspect, the state Commandant of the NSCDC, Oluyemi Ibiloye, said that the suspect was arrested in Akure after he absconded from Okitipupa.
Ibiloye said that the suspect claimed to be a Captain in the United States Army and collected N300,000 from a female victim whom he promised a slot to work in America.
According to him “On February 20, a complaint of visa scam was reported against the suspect.
“He had told his victim when they met online on May 2, 2023, that he was a United States of America army officer on annual leave in Nigeria.
“The suspect promised the complainant a slot to work in America and asked her to deposit N300,000 into his bank account.
“After the money was paid into his bank account, he stopped picking up his victims’ telephone calls until he was tracked and arrested in Akure,”
The commandant said that the suspect had made a confessional statement.
He claimed that he committed the offence as a result of overwhelming conditions.
In an interview, the suspect Taiwo said “I am not a captain in the U.S. Army. I obtained a Master’s degree in the U.S.A. before I was deported.
