Photo: EFCC Arraigns Five over N26million Internet Fraud

Find the EFCC press statement below ...
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, May 11, 2015 arraigned Uchenna Nwako, Ejikeme Oluchukwu, Nnamani Ikechukwu, Ibeh kodili Martins and Nwako Victoria Ifeoma before Justice D.V Agishir of the Federal High Court, Enugu, on a 16-count charge bordering on intent to defraud and obtaining N26,338,000 by false pretence.
The five accused persons were picked up by EFCC operatives on February 27, 2013 after intelligence reports indicated that they were involved in fraudulent activities bordering on cybercrime.

Part of the charge read: “That you Uchenna Nwako, Ejikme Oluchukwu, Nnamani Ikechukwu, Ibeh Kodili Martins and Nwako Victoria Ifeoma sometime in November 2012 in Enugu, Enugu State within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, conspired among yourselves to commit an unlawful act to wit: obtaining money by false pretense and thereby committed an offense contrary to Section 8(a) and punishable under section 1(3) of Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006.

“That you Nwako Victoria Ifeoma and Uchenna Nwako on or about October 18, 2012 in Enugu, Enugu State within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, concealed and disguised the origin of the sum of N8,940,000 which is proceed of an unlawful activity by causing the said money to be paid into the Zenith Bank account number 1013144345 of Ifechina Enterprises Limited, a private limited company jointly owned by both of you, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 15(2)(a) and punishable under Section 15(3) of the Money Laundering Act , 2011 (As Amended).”

They however, pleaded not guilty, when the charges were read to them. In view of their plea, the EFCC counsel, M. A. Ekwu, requested for a date to be fixed for trial of the accused persons to begin. Defence counsel, A. Oyenkwere, however requested bail for his clients, which was opposed by Ekwu. Ekwu argued that only Ikechukwu who had honoured the terms of the administrative bail deserved bail. Ikechukwu was thereafter granted bail in the sum of N1,000,000 with one surety who must be either a seasoned businessman that owns a landed property with a C of O, or a civil servant of Grade Level 15 or above.

The case was adjourned till May 13, 2015 for consideration of the bail application of the other accused persons, who were ordered to be remanded in EFCC custody.

  16. There are better and creative ways by which money can be made. Nigerian youths should understand that fraud and other negative ways of making money are not dignifying. The aftermath is regret,incarceration and disgrace. Let's grow up. Olaide Oyedeji.

  19. Linda i think is it very wrong to keep publishing ppls names and posting them up when they havent been found guilty in a country like Nigeria where u know police will just put a charge on you for not giving them money...wait till they are convincted before messing up these youngs ppls lives and embarrassing their families...its very wrong..pls exercise some ethics in ur blogging and be fair to Nigerians in what you do.

  27. This EFCC are very stupid people sometimes, can they tell us where is the company they dupe the money from? The most painful party about EFCC is that when they saw politicians who steal billions of Naira from Nigeria government they'll allowed him to go freely, maybe sometimes they'll say go and pay three hundred thousand Naira, the politicians will go freely just like that. I read it here last two weeks when igbinedion son from benin city, who stolen two hundred and fifty thousand Naira 250B, was told to pay 3m, or he'll go to 3years jail, meanwhile his aid was sentence to 2O years imprisonment, because his a poor man. Is it fair?

  50. Linda, Its not everything u come across u upload on ur blog.

    Again Nigerians, please lets be rational and reasonable. There is nothing like fast money. How much is our minimum wage and how much is your house rent? How much of ur time and money did u spend acquiring education? Think about this in the light of the high rate of unemployment and poor salary.

    Also, i want you to ask yourself this,What legacy do our Great grand and grand fathers and mothers in positions of leadership lay down for us today? if they that have limited number of years to exist can be dubious, what then do u expect from our youths.

    Also, ask urself if cybercrime has done our society more good than harm. When last did armed robbers invade ur homes? when last were u robbed on traffic and roadsides? When last was a gun pointed at you? its important u ponder over this.

    Also, EFCC, why dont u arraign politicians and public office holders who are the root cause of this cybercrimes we experience today. If the government had provided the citizens with adequate amenities and good governance do you think our youths will be channelling their tarlents in the wrong directions? The Government is to be blamed. Going by the words of the Senator-Elect, Murray Ben Bruce, "When the youths are neglected and sidelined, the next thing is hunger and hunger brings about anger which in extention leades to violence. But today intead of violence, our youths have taken to the cybercrime for survival. To me its commendable because it still portrays a good sense of belonging and willingness to crave for success in the right direction.

    Lastly, My fellow Nigerians, Cybercrime is more demanding than any legitimate work u can think of. It requires ICT Skills and tarlent, discipline, and great time to be successful in this business. Even the so called EFCC are criminals as well. Going by this news you will see that EFCC's position on these gentle men lack Locus Standing. Mention one thing they did, EFCC cannot. Who is the complainant? None... To me this is just mere victimization and injustice... Ask EFCC, why is it that they dont like releasing people's cars and properties after there investigations... Instead they will frame innocent people up and charge them to court just to have possesssion of their properties for themslves. I am a victim, My car today is been driven by one of their staffs all in the name of auction sales. I have my facts backking up this. There is more to this guys issue, Why didnt EFCC mention about the 8 exoltic cars they seized from this guys, including Range Rover Authobiography and why did it take the 3 years to charge the matter to court? Why the demand of N15m from this young men and when they refused to pay the ramsome on the ground they have done nothing, they were framed up and charged to court..... Ask EFCC what an innocent woman leaving and working in America doing in that list of the arraigned persons? Mother of one of the arraigned, simply because she sued EFCC to court for the unlawful possession of her cars that was found at her home,the premises of one of the arraigned. The hearing was to take place on the 12th of May 2015 and on the 11th of May 2015. a day before that EFCC picked the other guys alongside the woman herself whom for the past 3 years since the case began had never been in the list of the supposed suspects, charging them to court that same day. In a nutshell, There is more to this than u think.

    Nigerians, lets stop being victims of hasty conclusions. Lets not be too fast in concluding and condemning mere suspects that are not yet declared guilty by the law court just because of mere tribal sentiments just as some people are mentioning Igbos in their comments. Please followup this case and at the end u will see that the EFCC position is worth striking off and thats what will happen. WATCHOUT!!!

  57. The fact that there is unemployment in Nigeria doesnt mean that you should go into crime of 419. And please stop justifying it by saying EFCC should go to politicians because you are not helping those that committed the crime. Afterall, there are other Nigerians that made it in this country without going into crime.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Compare them to the good Nigerians that made it in this country without going into any crime instead of comparing them with bad politicians
