A Nigerian identified as Charles Onus has been arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for his alleged involvement in diverting $800,000 into prepaid debit cards, barely a month after Abidemi Rufai, an aide to Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state was arrested for fraud in the United States.
The United State Department of Justice in a statement shared on its website, said Mr Onus was arrested and detained on April 14 in San Francisco.
The suspect who is accused of hacking over 5,500 company user accounts, was arraigned before the Manhattan federal court on Wednesday June 2.
He is said to have allegedly participated in the scheme between July 2017 through about 2018, obtaining over 5,500 company user accounts through a cyber-intrusion technique referred to as “credential stuffing.”
The 34-year-old Nigerian national has now been charged with “one count of computer fraud for causing damage to a protected computer” which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
