FBI Nab Nigerian Suspect “Bobo Chicago” for Alleged $2.8 Million Scam On US Businesses

Nigerian scammer Oluyomi Omobolanle Bombata, also known as Bobo Chicago, has been detained by the FBI. He allegedly scammed businesses and individuals out of $2.8 million.

Bobo Chicago, 25, was known for his extravagant lifestyle as “Bola Flexx.” He was detained on November 20 in Chicago, Illinois.

An arrest warrant was issued after several complaints and an inquiry revealed suspicions about his actions. “He allegedly gained $2.8 million in false payments by breaking into business and personal accounts,” the FBI said.

Bobo Chicago targeted the Nigerian community in Houston before moving to Chicago. He is now charged with five crimes in Oklahoma, including conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud.

His co-conspirator has also been arrested. Investigators found that Bobo Chicago fraudulently transferred over $300,000 to a liquor store, implicating the business owner.

A US District Court judge approved Bobo Chicago’s transfer to Oklahoma to face charges. After claiming he couldn’t afford a lawyer, he was given a public defender.

“I don’t have the money to defend myself,” Bobo Chicago said. This has raised questions about whether he will defend himself or accept punishment.
