The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has charged Nigerian-American Oluwatobi Adegoke to court in connection with a $680,000 vehicle import scam. Adegoke appeared before the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos State, on October 8, 2026, on a single count of stealing. The charge stems from an alleged incident in December 2024, where it is claimed that Adegoke dishonestly converted $680,000 belonging to Ikechukwu Osita Ifeabunike, a sum paid for a 2022 G Wagon vehicle.
The EFCC alleges that Adegoke, who was living in the United States at the time, advertised and sold a luxury 2024 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG to Nigerian buyers, defrauding them of the funds. Two alleged victims are said to have paid a combined total of more than $320,000 for the transaction.
