A Nigerian named Oluyomi Omobolanle Bombata, popularly addressed as Bobo Chicago, has been arrested by the operatives of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for allegedly defrauding various companies and individuals of $2.8 million.
Bobo Chicago was arrested on 20 November, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois, and is facing multiple charges, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and unlawful monetary transactions.
His fraudulent activities reportedly targeted Nigerians residing in the Houston metro area before he fled to Chicago.
Federal agents tracked the illicit funds and found that over $300,000 had been funneled into a well-known liquor store.
Bobo Chicago alongside his co-conspirator are now awaiting his transfer to Oklahoma to face the charges against him.
His arrest adds to the growing list of Nigerians currently incarcerated as convicted criminals or facing criminal charges.
