Adepoju Olawale Sunday, who is the owner of a club in Ibadan, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for defrauding the United States government of N32 million meant for COVID-19 relief funds.
The EFCC's Ibadan Zonal Command reportedly arraigned the club owner, Olawale Sunday, before Justice Uche Agomoh of the Federal High Court on two separate charges. The first charge includes eight counts, such as identity theft, obtaining COVID-19 funds and unemployment benefits from the US government, and transferring proceeds of crime to another person called Owoade Emmanuel David.
Further investigations revealed that the club owner allegedly stole some personal identities of American citizens through his small business in the US, which he used in filing false benefit claims.
