The impostor Arinze Chikezie (pic withheld) had opened an account on Facebook and another account in First City Monument Bank to carry out his fraudulent activities in Jim Iyke’s name. On the Jim Iyke facebook page, he solicited for funds to save a child, refering financial donors to pay into the account with FCMB.
FCMB obviously had their suspicions, so they asked Jim Iyke to confirm the facebook page was his. When Jim Iyke denied being the account holder, a bait was set for the impostor.
He was successfully tracked down and handed over to the police in Onitsha, Anambra State after he confessed to getting money from unsuspecting people through the scam.
