The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has arrested
two undergraduate internet scammers and six other fraudsters at the
upscale 1004 Housing Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos .
One of
the undergraduates, Hope Olusegun, a 25 year-old indigene of Okene, Kogi
State , claims to be a student of Computer Science at the Kuala Lumpur
Metropolitan University, Malaysia.
He was arrested by operatives of EFCC over allegations of fraud and internet scam.
A
petition by a concerned group alerted the Commission about the
activities of Olusegun and his co-travelers at the elite 1004 Housing
Estate where the fraudsters engaged in fraudulent activities of
obtaining money by false pretences and forgery.
A
search conducted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC operatives at Olusegun’ s apartment led to the recovery of several
items such as laptops, iPad phones, travelling documents, cheque
books, flash drives, internet modem, and three exotic cars – a Mercedes
Benz Jeep, One 4Matic Mercedes Benz Car and a Range Rover Sport SUV.
When
asked how he came about the cars, Olusegun said the cars belonged to
his sister who he claimed lives in the United Kingdom.
Operatives of the EFCC also downloaded over 80 implicating documents from the laptops recovered from Olusegun.
However, the Commission is making efforts to track down other members of Olusegun’s syndicate who are currently at large.
Tunde
Wasiu Sodiq, another undergraduate and member of another syndicate with
close affinity to Olusegun’s gang was also nabbed by operatives of the
EFCC at the Housing Estate.
Besides Sodiq, six other members of the syndicate were equally arrested.
They are: Badmus Akeem O, Ajijola Oluwatosin Emmanuel, Adebesin Olalekan, Raji Resaq O, Ajibola Adeniyi and Adeboye Lamidi.
Their arrest was sequel to a petition on their notorious activities at the Housing Estate.
Sodiq (23) hails from Lagos and claimed to be an undergraduate of Brandry University , Malaysia .
The leader of the syndicate, Badmus Akeem, hails from Ayetoro, Ogun State and attended Oniwaya High School , Agege.
He claimed to be a traveler who does odd jobs wherever he travels.
“I decided to move
to Malaysia to further my education while I do “Hot jobs” as well. I
just got back a week ago before the festive period and also produce
music and manage artistes,” he claimed.
On why he chose to
live at the expensive 1004 estate where he and his friends pay N30, 000
daily, he said it was to avoid the stress that friends and relations
could bring to him.
“I didn’t stay on the Mainland in Lagos because of stress of friends when you just get back from abroad.”
Sodiq
said that the Range Rover Sport car which was recovered from them
belonged to his mother despite the fact that the car bears his alias,
“T.Wizzle”.
He stated in his statement that the mother decided to customize the car plate number after the name of his first son.
Other items recovered by the Commission include laptops, flash drives, internet modem, cheque books and a host of others.
They are to be arraigned in court soon.
