EFCC Clamps Down on Abuja Internet
Fraudsters
The Abuja Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, has turned the heat on internet fraudsters,
operating within the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
On Thursday April 25, 2019, the Commission nabbed Mmizoro
Chinedu and Utyo Philip, two suspected internet fraudsters at the
Nigerian Army Resettlement Estate, Jikwoyi, Abuja.
The suspects were arrested following intelligence report that
alleged that they were perpetrating internet fraud. The suspects
put up a fight while resisting arrest which resulted in injury on
one of the EFCC operatives.
One of the suspects, Mmizoro Chinedu who wanted to conceal
evidence against him threw his phone into the toilet but it was
retrieved and is currently undergoing digital forensics
investigation in the Commission.
Similarly, the zone raided the Kings Court Estate residence of
three suspected internet fraudsters. They are: Odili Augustine,
Odili Philips and Elvis Albert.
The home of the three suspects was raided following an anonymous
tip-off to the Commission on the activities of the suspects who
were alleged to have swindled unsuspecting victims off their
hard-earned money.
Some items recovered from the three suspects include, a white
Honda Cross tour, laptops, sophisticated phones and documents of
some landed properties.
