EFCC Arrests Four Dropouts For Million Dollar Scam
The EFCC said the suspects – Oluwaseun Michael, 28; Igbokwe Chijioke, 27; Felix Chukwudi, 22 and Babajide Goloba, made millions of dollars from scamming foreigners
The suspects were arrested in different parts of Lagos, following intelligence report received by the commission.
The statement read in part, “They are alleged to have defrauded their victims, mostly American and European citizens, millions of dollars.
“The suspects, dropouts, have confessed to have been involved in romance/ marriage scam, Internet advertisement scam, spoofing of emails and interception of business mails.
“They have also confessed to be working as couriers for movement of stolen funds by other cybercriminals. They own companies with no fixed addresses, which they used to cover up the real sources of their money.”
The items recovered from the suspects at the time of their arrest include laptops, handsets and phishing scripts, among others.
The anti-graft agency said they would soon be charged to court.
