EFCC to arraign suspected fraudster for $267,000 scam
Press statement from EFCC
A suspected internet fraudster, Akintunde Vincent Abiodun, has been
quizzed by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, for allegedly defrauding a New Zealand woman the sum of $267,000
(Two Hundred and Sixty Seven Thousand New Zealand Dollars Only).
Akintunde, a 37-year-old HND holder from Federal Polytechnic Auchi, Edo
State, is said to have defrauded the victim of the said amount by
claiming to be Christopher Williams from United Kingdom.
According to the complainant, she met Akintunde in a dating site on the
internet and allegedly fell in love with him. She said Akintunde started
collecting money from her after he claimed to be in possession of
gemstone worth $18,050,000 (Eighteen Million and Fifty Thousand Dollars
), which he purportedly inherited from his father.
She further said, Akintunde hoodwinked her into believing that he was
coming to New Zealand to settle down with her.
She alleged that the money she sent to the suspect were received in
Malaysia and Nigeria by persons bearing Norisha, Jalan Klan, and
Mohammed Haizam Bin Fauzin. All of them claimed to be friends of
Akintunde.
The suspect will be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is
completed.
