This is the end of the run for an alleged crook, wanted by the American federal police since 2018. Osondu Victor Igwoli was arrested with three other suspects in a studio in Lagos.

The Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Osondu Victor Igwoli, a Nigerian suspected of embezzling $100 million through an investment scam. The agency also seized five houses linked to the gang leader near Nigeria's largest city. The arrest prompted a tweet of congratulations from the US Embassy in Abuja.

The 52-year-old had been on the FBI's wanted list since 2018, following a criminal complaint filed in US federal court in Houston, Texas in December 2016. The criminal complaint, unsealed in December 2018, charges the criminal with wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and aggravated identity theft. She accuses him of being the leader of a criminal network that sent phishing emails to potential victims, offering investment financing on behalf of BB&T Corporation, a US bank headquartered in North Carolina.
