The Anti-Fraud Unit of the Airport Police Command has arrested a 24-year-old man, Precious Onudhona, for his alleged involvement in a large-scale fraud amounting to N48.5 million.
The suspect, a native of Delta State, was apprehended on February 2, 2026, at an airport terminal while attempting to board a flight to Asaba.
According to a press release issued on Tuesday, preliminary investigations revealed that Onudhona became involved in fraudulent activities in 2023 after allegedly joining a syndicate that specialised in romance-related scams.
The group reportedly targeted unsuspecting victims through social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, using fake identities and deceptive narratives.
Police investigations further indicated that the suspect allegedly posed as “Travis Kevin,” a white American medical doctor, and created a fake banking domain showing fictitious account balances.
He was said to have used the platform to deceive victims into sending money under the guise of short-term loans, which he claimed would be repaid promptly.
The funds were reportedly solicited under the pretext of covering feeding and medical expenses after he allegedly sustained injuries in the line of duty, with transactions routed through cryptocurrency channels.
The Commissioner of Police, Airport Police Command, CP Ogunbode Olufunke has ordered a comprehensive investigation to ensure that justice is served and that other members of the alleged fraud syndicate are identified and arrested.
The suspect is expected to be transferred to the Interpol Section for further investigation and prosecution.
