Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Sokoto state have arrested Omotade-Sparks Amos Sewanu, operator of the Inks Nation Ponzi Scheme.
Omotade-Sparks who hails from Badagry Lagos State was declared wanted by the EFCC in November 2020 after efforts to apprehend him failed. He is the alleged mastermind of a huge pyramid investment scheme through which many citizens were defrauded of monies to the tune of over Thirty-Two Million Naira.
Omotade-Sparks had allegedly floated a phony online digital currency called “Pinkoin” which lured unsuspecting members of the public to invest between One Thousand Naira to One Hundred Thousand Naira with a promise of unrealistic returns and went ahead to distribute a payment card called “Pink Card” to further confuse his victims. Omotade-Sparks is accused of making false claims that he was in partnership with the EFCC to persuade people to invest in his devious scheme.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-2427099653703778&output=html&h=300&adk=2141876619&adf=667904977&pi=t.aa~a.1834861711~i.19~rp.4&w=360&lmt=1622235515&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=4779063894&psa=1&ad_type=text_image&format=360×300&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F2021%2F5%2Ffleeing-ponzi-scheme-operator-omotade-sparks-amos-sewanu-arrested-months-after-he-was-declared-wanted-by-efcc-2.html&flash=0&fwr=1&pra=3&rh=275&rw=330&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&adsid=ChEI8KnChQYQ3PXwhNXb3MuUARIvAMQzoNUJWT_6hEfMc27dkh4QGyN7rFwpYICUKQGRyDbl7siPMtoRrizlppjwimI&dt=1622235515498&bpp=28&bdt=10893&idt=-M&shv=r20210524&cbv=%2Fr20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D40b8097dd0e7c216-2253f13045c800be%3AT%3D1621431236%3ART%3D1621431236%3AS%3DALNI_MaTUeOfHD9dt6iZSzMqqRDzzOcAzA&prev_fmts=360×300%2C360x300%2C0x0&nras=2&correlator=8324797831109&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1395618283.1619456010&ga_sid=1622235509&ga_hid=137687466&ga_fc=0&u_tz=60&u_his=2&u_java=0&u_h=800&u_w=360&u_ah=800&u_aw=360&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=2557&biw=360&bih=664&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=42530671%2C31060474%2C44740386&oid=3&psts=AGkb-H-6kv54UAFznrTkghRQTg1mvp8PtFDHymcFG3pXFJn2yVMAKyk-9__-a7rIgfD3G9xnzn1yJh9Ztw%2CAGkb-H_fZBx1F96r31jeOM0-mVYQuqNfqudjbLaW8jPIbYTVu5aJROdcEkvP8EnGWPNRpoAVLuckkld-DA&pvsid=3386972524074969&pem=231&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lindaikejisblog.com%2F&eae=0&fc=384&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C360%2C0%2C360%2C664%2C360%2C664&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&jar=2021-05-28-19&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=2&fsb=1&xpc=SKxt1srQEY&p=https%3A//www.lindaikejisblog.com&dtd=123
