Osinachi, from Imo State, was arrested at 1:50pm on August 11 from Kamal Vihar, Burari, Delhi, wanted in connection with FIR No.33/2026 at Madeyganj police station, Lucknow.
Police said a Daliganj resident was defrauded of Rs 68 lakh (about N98.1m) after being contacted on Facebook by "Doris William" claiming to be British. After gaining trust with promises of expensive gifts and dollars, the gang impersonated customs and income tax officials, demanding duty, GST and tax to clear a parcel, even sending a fake RBS certificate from UK.
Operatives recovered 11 mobile phones, a laptop, passport, 4 ATM cards and 34 screenshots of foreign women used for fake profiles.
Two associates, Uchenwa and Obase Prosper, were arrested May 15 and July 18. Osinachi, who entered India on a business visa in 2022 and overstayed, admitted to the fraud, police said.
