At the point of arrest, EFCC operatives recovered one voter’s card and a debit card bearing Obohor John Damilola from him.
The Commission got wind of his fraudulent activities through series intelligence reports on his suspicious transactions in one of the branches of an old generation bank in Ado Ekiti, through which he  received about Seven Million, Four Hundred and Fifty Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety Nine Naira (N7,453, 799.00) from victims.
The victims includes one L. D Marte who lost Six Million, Two Hundred and Sixteen Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty Two Naira (N6,216,732) to the suspect. Others are  P.
