Axelle Mahieu, an educator working as a caretaker in Brussels, Belgium, was cheated by Clinton, according to an article published by the web publication foundation for investigative journalism. Clinton was detained on October 18, 2022, at No. 46 Atoke Gbadebo Street, Isheri, Lagos, by EFCC agents.
In November 2021, while browsing on her Facebook page, the victim noticed that she had received a message. Ume Ifechukwu Clinton, identifying himself as “a buddy of a friend,” sent the message.
In the days that followed, as their conversation proceeded, Clinton revealed to Mahieu that he worked for the EFCC and provided evidence in the form of a phony identity card and a Nigerian passport.
After building up Mathieu’s trust over several months of video conversations, Clinton allegedly suggested a cryptocurrency business to her, promising her enormous profits and secured funding.
Clinton managed to scam the Belgian of $45,000 after successfully persuading her.
