The FBI has apprehended Oluyomi Omobolanle Bombata, better known as Bobo Chicago, for allegedly defrauding multiple companies and individuals out of $2.8 million.
Arrested on November 20 in Chicago, Illinois, Bobo Chicago faces a host of charges, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and unlawful monetary transactions.
His fraudulent schemes reportedly targeted Nigerians residing in the Houston metro area before he evaded capture by fleeing to Chicago.
Federal agents traced the illicit funds and uncovered that over $300,000 had been funneled into a popular liquor store.
Living lavishly under the alias “Bola Flexx,” Bobo Chicago now awaits extradition to Oklahoma, where he will face the charges against him.
His co-conspirator is also in custody, held by law enforcement.
Bobo Chicago’s arrest adds to the growing list of Nigerians either imprisoned as convicted criminals or facing serious criminal charges.
