FBI CHARGES NIGERIAN “BIG BOY” WITH DEFRAUDING AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF $1.4 MILLION.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has charged Kolawole Erinle, a big boy from Nigeria, with defrauding Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences of $1.4 million.

On Tuesday, February 7, an FBI agent named Ayotunde Solademi described how Erinle is thought to have committed the crime to an Ikeja Special Offenses Court.

According to Solademi, a foreign service investigator for the FBI working out of the US Consulate in Nigeria’s Office of the Legal Attaché, the university was a victim of spoofing, a type of cybercrime attack that targets companies by utilizing false sender addresses.

A three-count indictment brought against Erinle by the EFCC includes conspiracy, keeping the proceeds of criminal activity, and acquiring money by false pretenses. He is being tried with his company, Rinde-Remdex Nigeria Limited.

However, the defendant entered a not guilty plea to the accusation.
