EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement said preliminary investigation revealed the suspects engaged in impersonation and romance scam.<\/p>\n

They allegedly faked the identities of United States military personnel on foreign missions to deceive their targets.<\/p>\n

Ebhogie was said to have used his mother\u2019s bank account to launder proceeds of crime.<\/p>\n

The suspect, on July 30, 2021, purchased a Mercedes Benz GLK for N7million through the mum\u2019s account.<\/p>\n

Iwuji was discovered to have sold her photographs and Facebook account to internet fraudsters to trap victims.<\/p>\n
