Self-acclaimed Nigerian actress, Deborah
Oguntoyinbo is being investigated after
she was arrested for stealing the
identities of over 20 women to commit
large-scale fraud in Canada.
According to a report by CBC News,
Oguntoyinbo, 26 has been branded by the
York Regional Police as one of the most
prolific identity thieves ever
encountered in recent times after
stealing the identities of over 20 women
in the Toronto area in the last two
years.
Oguntoyinbo is also facing more than 50
fraud-related charges in Toronto as well
as nearby York, Peel and Halton regions,
according to court records.
Reports have revealed details about
Oguntoyinbo after she was recently
arrested following an attempt to flee a
luxury apartment complex in Toronto
where she had tried to rent a condo with
the proceeds of fraud, using the name
Natalia Bozic and a forged certified
cheque.
Police in Halton, further west, have
also accused her of stealing the
identities of 11 people.
Toronto police said they have two
outstanding arrest warrants for
Oguntoyinbo in connection with the
thefts of two identities and other
frauds. The police said the young
Nigerian lady used stolen cheques to buy
a Mercedes Benz and a BMW.
They also seized numerous forged
drivers’ licenses, social insurance
numbers and passports in the names of
other people from her.
