Antje had complained to the Commission that the 21-years old had defrauded her of €17,000.

She claimed that she met him via social media after she was just defrauded of €68,000 by one Michael Patrick.

She alleged that Osasogie offered to assist her in recovering the money but further defrauded her of €17,000.

Upon arrest, the suspect claimed he only received €12,850 from the petitioner.

The commission stated that the suspect will be charged to court on conclusion of investigation.
