Undergraduate In EFCC net over $90,000 romance scam

Find the EFCC Press Release
An undergraduate of the University of Ibadan, 28-year- old Orowo Jesse Omokoh, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for allegedly obtaining Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000.) from one Mrs. Jette Jacob, an Australian based in Johannesburg, South Africa, in what is known as a romance scam.
The suspect allegedly met the Aussie on a dating site and struck a sizzling romantic affair that necessitated him moving to Johannesburg in 2013 to link up with his lover.
Omokoh allegedly arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa on February 4, 2013, to meet with Jacob who had been in Johannesburg since November 2012. Five days after Omokoh arrived and took up residence with her, Jacob was found dead in her apartment with some of her valuables missing. After the incident, Omokoh reportedly fled South Africa and returned to Nigeria.

The South African Police which is investigating the mysterious death are suspicious that Omokoh has a hand in the demise of Jacob.

On March 15, 2013, the EFCC received a petition from Richard Stanford of Australian Federal Police, asking for help to track Omokoh, alleging that the Nigerian defrauded Jacob to the tune of $90,000 in a dating scam.

The Commission swung into action almost immediately but the suspected fraudster had been elusive until a few days ago when he was nabbed. He has already made useful statements while efforts are on to track his accomplices.

The suspect would be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is completed.

    5. I don't know why this backward Ibo people hate Yorubas so much. Yet u reap from our land. U drink our water, eat our food and curse us still. It's going back to your heads, I mean the curses and bitterness. If you hate us so much, better start developing your backward towns,because we will soon drive you away from Ondo,Oyo,Osun,Ogun,Ekiti and Lagos. Now you all ibos should shut up, Okorocha deported some Hausas from Imo last week. You didn't put that your smoked teeth like that of sallah ram up to rebuke him. But when Fashola did, u put out ur dirty mouths yto cuss him. Linda, I know you won't post my comment because you are Ibo, I will still be happy even if you don't, at least one ibo person will get to read this and pass the message across to Ndi'gbo, and that person is YOU!

  19. I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE NOT TO BE TOO DESPERATE FOR LOVE.

    PEOPLE REFER TO LOVE ,AS BEING BLIND.

    I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ,LOVE WAS NEVER BLIND, IT WAS YOU WHO IS AN IGNORAMUS.

    BECAUSE ,WHEN YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN YOURSELF .

    THAT IS WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN BRIBE SOMEONE FOR LOVE .

    PLEASE YOU DO NOT NEED TO BRIBE ANYONE WITH GIFT OR ANYTHING TO LOVE YOU.

    WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE NEW , PLEASE STOP ASKING THEM FOR ANYTHING. AND DO NOT GIVE YOURS.

    PEOPLE NEED TO BE PLEASED WITH WHAT THEY HAVE.

    DO NOT TAKE GIFT FROM ANYBODY UNTIL YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE VERY WELL.

    THERE WAS A TIME I CAME ACROSS SOMEONE,
    WE ARE FRIENDS FOR OVER A YEAR,
    I DECIDED NEVER TO ASK HIM FOR ANYTHING.

    BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT HIM TO USE THAT TO ASK ME FOR SOMETHING .

    THEN, SUDDENLY, HE SAID TO ME THAT
    THERE WAS A BUSINESS HE WANTED TO DO WITH HIS FRIEND,

    THAT HE WOULD LIKE ME TO JOIN , SO THAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE SOME MONEY TOGETHER TO DO THE BUSINESS.

    I ASKED ,HOW MUCH DID I HAVE TO PAY, HE SAID ABOUT ONE MILLION.

    I TOLD TO HIM, TO GO TO THE BANK AND GET A LOAN,

    BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO PLAY WITH MY MONEY WITH ANYBODY.

    TO MY SURPRISE , HE STOP PHONING ME FROM THAT DAY, AND HE REFUSED TO TAKE MY CALL,

    I REALLY THANK GOD THAT THE DEMON HAS GONE TO HELL.
