The Federal Bureau of Investigation, (FBI) has filed a civil forfeiture complaint against Nigerian fraudster, Ehiremen Aigbokhan over $250,000 meant for Donald Trump’s inauguration.

This development comes amid the United States Embassy in Nigeria closing its offices in Lagos and Abuja in observance of America’s Independence Day.

According to reports, Ehiremen Aigbokhan and his team deceived a donor who planned to give funds to the Trump Inagural Committee.

However, they used a scam identified as Business Email Compromise (BEC), used by fraudsters to send fake emails appearing to be from a legitimate source.

The crypto transactions uncovered by the FBI reveal that the fraudster resides in Lagos, and efforts are underway to apprehend him and recover the looted funds.
