A Nigerian influencer who posted photos of his life of luxury on private jets has been arrested amid claims of a £350million cyberscam. The FBI seized more than £30million in cash when they stormed the apartment of 38-year-old Raymond Abbas in Dubai when he was sleeping. Investigators say the Instagram star portrayed a billionaire lifestyle in order to 'lure victims from all over the world'. Mr Abbas started out as a secondhand-clothes trader in Lagos before claiming to be a billionaire property developer in Dubai. Local media reports that the FBI will push to extradite Mr Abbas to America as many of the alleged victims were US citizens.
