FBI arrests notorious Nigerian fraudster Bola ?Bobo Chicago? over $2.8 million fraud

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested Oluyomi Omobolanle Bombata, aka “Bobo Chicago,” for allegedly being involved in a $2.8 million email scam and money laundering scheme. 

The 25-year-old lived in a Houston metro area before fleeing to Chicago, where he established residency. 

He is currently facing a five-count charge, including wire fraud, conspiracy, and unlawful monetary transactions. 

Federal agents were said to have identified $2.8 million in funds linked to Bombata. 

Investigators also discovered that Bombata transferred over $300,000 of these funds to a well-known liquor store in the U.S., leading to the store owner’s implication in the scheme. 
 

Bobo Chicago was said to have been arrested by the FBI on November 20 in Illinois, Chicago. 

“Due to his extravagant lifestyle, he was arrested based on an arrest warrant issued in Oklahoma following several criminal complaints filed against him and corroborating an investigation that deemed his activities suspicious,” the report read. 
 

According to the report, his co-conspirator is also being held in custody by law enforcement agents. 

Federal agents said Chicago’s mode of operation was hacking into multiple companies’ and individual accounts located in the Eastern District of Oklahoma jurisdiction.
