EFCC arrests suspected $4m fraudster, Idowu Olanrewaju, shares photos of hotel, cars he bought with the stolen money

 The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC have arrested a suspected fraudster, Idowu Olarenwaju, alias Capt Anthony Abel Saramoh for defrauding an American Citizen of the sum of $4million through his company, Total Intership Nigeria Limited.

According to a statement by EFCC, Olanrewaju tricked his victim into paying the said amount into his company's account with the promise of supplying him with crude oil from Nigeria.


Luck however ran out on him after the victim petitioned the EFCC when he did not hear a word from Olanrewaju again after the money he requested for was transferred. Investigations by EFCC led to the arrest of one Joe Onwudimowei on June 18th. Joe was discovered to be of an accomplice of Olanrewaju who operates the account of Total Intership Nigeria Limited with Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) where the money was deposited.

Upon interrogation, he confessed to be working for Olanrewaju and one Otunba Yemi Osho and that he had handed both men the money from the said transaction. Olanrewaju who does not have any reasonable source of income was discovered to have several properties in Port Harcourt, Rivers State and a 44 rooms hotel in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.

Also recovered from him were a number of exotic cars including, a 2014 Range Rover, 2013 Honda Crosstour, 2013 Range Evogue and Honda CRV. He is expected to appear in court soon.

  26. You'll see all this scumbags cruising around in exotic cars feeling like Captain Africa.How can anyone call this hard work? I read comments of young people who call this hustling.If your friend,sibling or relative is into this,tell them it's same as armed robbery,drug peddling & 419! Same dirty shit.A lot of people are making money by the second via hard work.it's so damn easy! Just think.

  58. ...Ehm,ehm...only the con man was arrested?? Haba, that's not fair. Arrest the 2nd Mofo too. It takes two to tango. $4m!! Not even at gun point! How dim could the victim have been??? Some clown presents an outrageous deal and you fell for it instead of forwarding such deal to your police. Haba. Western countries have continually warned their citizens to be wary of "phunky" deals. Deals that smell fishy but these greedy foreigners keep falling for the bait. If a deal is too good to be true, it's obviously not true. Rogues...both the conned and the con man!! The conned man should be invited to Nigeria too. He must be quizzed. If he so much needs crude oil, why not contact his Chamber of Commerce etal? Now things have gone awry, he's crying! He's in for the long haul!. As for the con man...see your life! Elebi! Hungry man! Acquiring cars and property. To fool people that you've arrived. Okay o. To the slammer, off you go! Oyinbo people are too greedy. They keep falling for the same lies and never learn. Wanting to reap where they did not sow. Even if the victim was paying in instalments, he should have come to his senses before paying the total of $4m. Abi dem use juju! I doubt it. He himself was trying to con Nigeria. Both men are Mofos!!! I won't be surprised if the con man and his cohorts cannot even speak or write English effectively. Now you are wasting government time. Nonsense!!

  68. Arrest the American for economic sabotage, conspiracy to steal, attempting to receive stolen property as well as attempt to profit through illicit means. In addition to bribery and corruption. As bad as the crime is, It takes 2 to tango, you can't treat this ID fellow as a criminal and reward the american with shaming, arresting, intimidating, arraignment, confistication and likely serving terms the nigerian while he makes a case of what? Was he deaf n dumb to NIPC, NNPC, even NEXIM and both Consulates in these days of google and Linda Ikeji blog???

  69. Why is it that when black people suddenly come into huge sums of money, we can't help but be flashy with it??

    There are so many millionaire white people out there whose bank accounts are flush and one would never know it.

    If you're going to defraud others, don't be flashy with it. That's the quickest way to get caught.

  73. Pls permit me to air my view. Olny a greedy person can be duped. The Oyibo man with such money want to buy crude through the back door and a fast and furious Naija guy took advantage of his quest to make excess gain. If EFCC should arrest this employer of labour, the Oyibo man should also be arrested for trying to do illegal business in Nigeria.
    Obviously, the Oyibo knows where to make clean business in Nigeria oil and gas sector but wants took the shortcut and got bitten and now he's crying fowl.
    My take is that the Oyibo man should be tried also.
    Now permit me to rest my case.

  74. I heard ID was arrested and searched online and whammo! it's him! he buys cars like they are toys! this year, january, he bought evoque and authobiography. before now he owned 2013 range rover sport, venza, bmw x6 and white lexus lx 570. last time I saw him I knew something was amiss; although very rich, he drives without escorts, but this time two armed policemen accompanied him to his estate near us. ID looked haggard, did not come with any big car and had two policement with him. I knew something was wrong...the long arm of the law! very long indeed. we often wondered where he got all these money from, some persons say 419, others say former dep governor and others oil and gas. so this is it!!!!!!!!!!

  75. Typical naija fool. do u know y I say u r fool? because YOU, not me, gave option to comment anonymous. meaning it is allowed. Second, insinuating I am relative of him, a bigger naija fool,because being his relative has nothing to do with leaving a comment in your post, very unprofessional of u and i will never return to this trash. your name? moi ... or moimoi?
