By Jennifer Y Omiloli

The Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has captured one of the supposed web fraudsters wanted in the United States by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Oyediran Joseph, over $46 million fraud and money laundering case.

Joseph, as per an announcement made accessible on the commission’s legitimate Facebook page, was captured in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.

The announcement further takes note that EFCC’s acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, who was represented by Ilorin Zonal leader of the commission, Isyaku Sharu, informed newsmen about Joseph’s capture on Friday, August 30, at a question and answer session composed to clarify the EFCC/FBI coordinated effort in the battle against internet fraud and cyber crime.

The EFCC chairman said the commission has been supportive to the exercises of the FBI and any other outside partner whose obligation is comparable or practically equivalent to the commission’s.
