Operatives of the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have arrested a fake Senator, Ifechukwu Tom Makwe, for alleged €5.7 million internet fraud.
Makwe was arrested at the Guzape area of Abuja following credible intelligence about his internet- related fraud activities.
PLATFORMS TIMES gathered that the suspect, bearing many aliases (Fahad Makwe, Senator Tompolo, Tom Makwe, Dr. Bran), defrauded a Spaniard of €5.7 million.
Makwe allegedly claimed to be a US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent and diplomatic solicitor, and succeeded in defrauding his victim using fake identities.

Head, Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, said the suspect will be charged to court as soon as the investigations are concluded.
