The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Osang Usie Otukpa, a suspected fraudster, for allegedly defrauding 139 Australians to the tune of 8 million Australian dollars.

In a statement on Friday, the anti-graft agency said Otukpa was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos on December 6, 2024.

EFCC said the suspect arrived in Nigeria from the United States.

The anti-graft agency added that Otukpa lured his victims through social media and asked them to invest in his “rogue” cryptocurrency platform.

“Otukpa, who goes by five aliases, namely: Ford Thompson, Oscar Donald Tyler, Michael Haye, Jose Vitto and Kristin Davidson scammed the victims by luring them on the social media to invest in his rogue cryptocurrency investment platform, Liquid Asset Group (LAG),” the statement reads.

“The proceeds of the alleged crimes were routed to his bank accounts through a global cryptocurrency exchange platform. “He would be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.”
