The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested singer Aniji Shedrack Chidubem, aka Sanij-D, on Monday for allegedly defrauding a Briton of the sum of £9,300.

The rising artiste was alleged to have also scammed an American of $2,000.

He was arrested in the Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, after intelligence on the fraudulent activities of a syndicate.

The anti-graft agency further noted that Sanij-D will be arraigned immediately after investigations.

The EFCC disclosed that the Sanij-D allegedly impersonated a marine engineer with the name, Christopher Rossi, who supposedly fixes boats and pipelines in Singapore.

“He used Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram applications with foreign phone numbers as his fraudulent means of perpetrating and defrauding his victims,” EFCC stated.
