According to a source:

“EFCC stormed my friend’s place of work to pick up Killaboi. He allegedly used the name “Benjamin N. Best” to lodge.

The gist is that he did an N150 million POS transaction with the stolen card. He used the card to pay at the hotel and that’s how they tracked him. The entire hotel premises was surrounded and he couldn’t escape.”
