“Confessions of a Romance Scammer: Apologies Shed Light on Hidden Realities Following Arrest”

 

Suspect Cites Ignorance, and Poverty for Defrauding US-based Automobile Supplier Adesuwa Renne Ogiozee of Reneestar Autos

A young Nigerian man, Mr. Joseph Olawuyi Olaosebika, has been arrested by Nigerian authorities for allegedly defrauding an American car dealer, Adesuwa Renne Ogiozee, back in 2016. The accusation revolves around a luxury car purchase worth over N30 million, a Mercedes Benz GLE350. Reportedly, Olawuyi convinced his American “lover” to transfer $560,000 to the car dealer’s account for the purchase. Unaware of the fraudulent nature of the funds, the dealer proceeded with the transaction, shipping the car to Nigeria.

Upon investigation, it was revealed that the money transferred for the car’s purchase was obtained through a romance scam orchestrated by Olawuyi. Despite the apparent legitimacy of the transaction from the car dealer’s perspective, the source of the funds was fraudulent, leading to the arrest of Mr. Joseph Olawuyi Olaosebika by Nigerian law enforcement authorities. The case underscores the dangers and complexities of romance scams, highlighting the need for vigilance and caution in online interactions involving financial transactions.”

Mr. Joseph was arrested eight years later following a petition by the automotive seller, who had suffered important difficulties due to the incident.

Expressing regret, Mr. Joseph said that he was by no means supposed to hurt the automotive seller and apologized for the misery he induced her, pleading for forgiveness. He attributed his felony actions to ignorance and poverty.
