Fatade Idowu Olamilekan, a Nigerian, was extradited to the US for wire fraud.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was searching for him because they believed he had stolen equipment valued more than $3.5 million.
The citizen is charged for impersonating numerous American cities and academic institutions.
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was in charge of organising Olamilekan's extradition (EFCC)
It came after receiving a notification from the FBI office in New York via the American Legal Attache.
A grand jury in the Southern District of New York indicted Olamilekan on charges of "wire fraud, interstate transportation of stolen items, and identity theft."
Wilson Uwujaren, a spokesman for the EFCC, remembered that on September 30, 2021, agents had taken him into custody.
In November 2021, the agency started the extradition proceeding in front of Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.
"On May 1, 2022, the judge approved the application to extradite the suspect to the US so he may face the pending criminal accusations.
The suspect "is scheduled to appear before a United States District Court upon his arrival in the United States," according to Uwujaren.
