The suspects, identified as Bolaji Kazeem Akinwunmi, popularly known as “Bolaji Original,” and his accomplice and former lover, Kemisola Mary Akinbo, were arrested by operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the anti-graft agency.
According to a statement issued by the EFCC on its X handle on Tuesday, Akinwunmi allegedly obtained the sum of ₦2,921,700 from unsuspecting victims under the pretext of securing employment for them.
“Investigations revealed that Akinwunmi, at different times, posed as an officer of the Nigeria Customs Service and the Nigeria Immigration Service, falsely claiming he had access to employment slots for interested applicants,” the statement read.
The agency did not disclose the number of victims affected but noted that investigations are ongoing.
This latest arrest comes a day after the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it arrested Kofoworola Kolawole, a company representative, over an alleged fraud involving N993,247,796.70 in Ilorin.
According to the anti-graft agency, Kolawole allegedly colluded with two company directors to fraudulently obtain the funds under the guise of facilitating a foreign exchange transaction.
