EFCC arrests musician, Sanij-D for allegedly swindling Briton of £9,300

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken into custody a musician identified as Aniji Shedrack Chidubem, known as Sanij-D, on suspicion of defrauding a British national, Susan Mclean, of £9,300 (Nine Thousand, Three Hundred Euros). Additionally, the suspect is accused of defrauding an American, Diana Rosado Gonzalax, of $2,000 (Two Thousand American Dollars).

The arrest took place in the Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, based on credible intelligence regarding the activities of an internet fraud syndicate. Chidubem allegedly assumed the identity of Christopher Rossi, a marine engineer responsible for repairing boats and pipelines in Singapore. He utilized Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, employing foreign phone numbers as part of his fraudulent activities.

Upon the conclusion of the investigation, he will face legal charges in court.
