The suspects are- Badejo Tobi, Abiola Dimeji, Anthony Godwin, Osoba Adeboye, Adeleken Abiodun, and Awokoya Oriyomi Yusuf.
The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, Lagos zonal office, has arrested 13 suspected internet
fraudsters for conspiracy, possession of fraudulent documents and obtaining
money under false pretense.
The others are- Oyatayo
Ismail; Coffie Meschark, Sylvester Amaddin, Olawale Farouk, Adeniran Tolani,
Taiwo Michael, and OyekanmiAyodeji.
They were arrested on
Saturday, December 16, 2017, in some parts of Lagos and Ogun States, following
intelligence report received by the Commission about their activities.
The suspects allegedly
confessed to being involved in phishing, love scam, forgery, spoofing and
business email compromise, among other offenses.
Phishing is an attempt to
obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card
details (and money), often for malicious reasons, by disguising as a
trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
Spoofing, on the other
hand, is a type of scam where an intruder attempts to gain unauthorized access
to a user's system or information by pretending to be the user.
Some of the suspects, who
live flamboyantly without any known sources of income, were said to have bought
houses and exotic cars from the proceeds of their criminal activities.
They were allegedly found
to be in possession of forged contract papers of multinational oil and gas
companies, banks’ instruments and forged data page of international passports
of foreign nationals, among other documents.
Other items recovered from
the suspects included laptops, flash drives, modems, one Range Rover SUV, one
Toyota Highlander, two Toyota Corollas, and one Toyota Camry.
The suspects will soon be
charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded
