On Tuesday, April 4, Ogbonna announced via his Instagram page that the suspect had been detained following a thorough investigation and was currently awaiting trial at the Igbosere Magistrate court in the state of Lagos.

Though he would never solicit money from anyone on social media, he also cautioned people about falling for these scams.

The actor released images of the suspect on social media and stated,

“This is to inform the general public once again to be wary of all those who are using my name and image on social media to defraud unsuspecting innocent women in love relationship scam. One of such is the recent case of one Kelvin Enofe, a 23 years old boy who duped an American woman of over 70 thousand US dollars, but as God would have it, some private investigators came to the rescue of the lady by revealing the true identity of Kelvin Enofe. Consequent upon the said investigation, the Nigerian police went for Kelvin Enofe’s arrest, investigated the matter, and he is currently standing trial at the Igbosere Magistrate Court in Lagos Nigeria. I do this today again to let the general public know that there are a lot more of other persons c laiming to be IK Ogbonna on the Internet. I will never ask for monetary favour from anyone on the Internet and if you see such on social media, please report such person or persons to me on my verified social media handle.”
