The Operatives of the Abuja Zonal Office of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC have arrested two suspected
internet fraudsters at their hideouts in Gwarimpa and Life Camp
suburbs of the Federal Capital Territory.
The suspects, Ebele Emmanuel and Yadina Chukwudi, were arrested
on April 1, 2019 following intelligence report received by the
Cyber Crime Section of the zone.
Yadina allegedly specialised in job scam, in which he promises
his victims fictitious jobs oversees and makes them part with their
hard-earned money as processing fees.
On the other hand, Ebele is alleged to be a member of a
syndicate, in which he acts as a “picker”, using a fraudulent
account to receive money from different victims on behalf of other
internet scammers. He gets his cut and further distributes it into
other accounts to avoid being traced.
Investigations further revealed that Ebele owns an exotic house
in Gwarimpa as well as an Estate in Asaba, Delta state, which are
suspected to be proceeds of crime.
They will be charged to court as soon as investigation is
concluded.
