According to Boniface, the man purchased the house at the cost of €400,000 (N617 million).
He said the man relocated to Italy in 2016 and had only worked for eight months since his arrival.
After his arrest, it was determined that eight months of work could not possibly give him money to buy the house.
Boniface said:
"He bought a house in this Italy. Now, hear how it happened. So, this guy came to this country in 2016. And since that 2016, they checked how many months he has worked. He only worked for eight months. Now, this guy got arrested for buying a house worth 400,000 Euro. Now, they were interrogating the guy, asking him where he got the money from, and he said from his work. They checked his record since 2016 till date and they found out that this guy only worked for eight months. Why did he get the money from?"
Upon further investigation, Boniface said the man in question was allegedly doing 'yahoo yahoo' (internet fraud).
He said:
"It turned out that this guy has been into yahoo. Now, you can be smart enough to do yahoo and collect money from people, but can lack the wisdom to use that money."
