Instablog9ja reports that the suspect who is a fashion designer was posing as a staff of NNPC with the picture of the said finance director and has been defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.

According to the reports, Balogun was earlier convicted for duping a woman, one Bimpe Akinmade, of N950, 000, after claiming to be an NNPC staff based in Port Harcourt.

The convict picked up his fraudulent activities again.

The suspect was finally nabbed while trying to defraud another woman on Facebook under the same guise, not knowing that his new victim was a police officer.
