The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday, arrested one Enock Ifeoluwa Ogungbamigbe, an alleged serial visa scammer who specializes in duping Nigerians desperate to move to Canada either to work or further education, through fake visas and job offers.
The 32-year-old who owns a garden in Mpape, a suburb of Abuja, was picked up at Transcorp Hotel, Abuja by operatives of the Commission, when he responded to an appointment to collect visas for applicants intending to immigrate to Canada. .
EFCC spokesperson Wilson Uwujaren said the suspect did not know it was a bait.
The arrest followed a petition from the victim who lost N5million to the suspect as processing fee for Visa to Canada. The suspect had also promised the victim a job when he arrived in Canada. But they only sent fake visas to the victims and all efforts to get the money back were futile.
The suspect will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is over.
