According to Pulse Nigeria, the woman had been running a social media account using the pop star's name and image and had even negotiated bookings with people interested in having the star perform at their events.
Two of the girl's victims are from outside of Nigeria, police revealed on Wednesday.
"The two victims are outside Nigeria. Members of the public should be very careful on sending money to people they met online. The lady collected money from people in the United States and they thought they were paying money to Wizkid to come and perform. They did not know they were dealing with fraudsters,"Lagos State Commissioner of Police Fatai Owoseni said in a statement.
The arrest comes after the rapper was reported to have missed a scheduled event in London late last month.
After news of his no-show made the news, Wizkid apparently asked police to investigate the matter, culminating in the arrest this week.
