The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Friday, September 26, 2014 arraigned Dandeson Ebosele Ibhonitie, 26, (a.k.a Dandy James, Connor Mead and Barrister Louis Harpoch and Ohiwerei Charity, 31, before Justice E. F. Ikponmwen of Edo State High Court, Benin-City on a 3- count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretence.
Ibhonitie and Charity allegedly belong to the group of fraudsters using the internet to defraud unsuspecting victims.
Ibhonitie
allegedly defrauded one Mrs. Weidman Andrea Sabrie, a German, of the
sum of $ 91,000 (Ninety-One Thousand United States Dollars) by
pretending to be an American working in Nigeria for a road construction
company.
To access the proceeds of the
fraud, Ibhonitie allegedly opened a domiciliary account in the name of
one Mr. Steven. He entered into an agreement with Charity, the account
officer that opened the account for him, on how the proceeds from the
crime will be shared. By the arrangement, Charity was to keep 3 percent
of every inflow to herself while 7 percent will go to Ibhonitie. The
remaining 90 percent, by the arrangement, went to Steven. However,
investigations showed that Ibhonitie was the same as Steven.
When the charges were read to them, they pleaded not guilty.
One of the counts read:
"Dandeson Ebosele Ibhonitie (a.k.a Dandy James, Connor Mead, Barrister Louis Harpoch, Brett Francis Steven (still at large) and Ohiwerei Charity on or about the 2nd day of April, 2014 at Benin within the Benin judicial division, with intent to defraud obtained the sum of USD 45,000.00(Forty Five Thousand United State Dollars) from Mrs. Weidman Andrea Sabrie, a German national through Skye Bank of Nigeria Limited Account No: 2520346555 in the name of Dandy James by falsely pretending to her that the said sum of money represented legal fee for Barrister Louis Harpoch for your defense which pretence you knew to be false".
"Dandeson Ebosele Ibhonitie (a.k.a Dandy James, Connor Mead, Barrister Louis Harpoch, Brett Francis Steven (still at large) and Ohiwerei Charity on or about the 2nd day of April, 2014 at Benin within the Benin judicial division, with intent to defraud obtained the sum of USD 45,000.00(Forty Five Thousand United State Dollars) from Mrs. Weidman Andrea Sabrie, a German national through Skye Bank of Nigeria Limited Account No: 2520346555 in the name of Dandy James by falsely pretending to her that the said sum of money represented legal fee for Barrister Louis Harpoch for your defense which pretence you knew to be false".

ReplyDeleteSh for that idiot woman, God don't catch you, I hope they direct their eyes to the account office in charge of western union at Access bank branch at Egbeda, the kind of things that goes on there is beyond normal. The greedy guy gives these yahoo boys special treatment all because they pay him egunje, woe betide you if many of them happen to jam you there, he will serve them first before you , even when giving number on first come basis, he will reserve all the earlier numbers for them and give you a form reading far off number and you will be wondering where the people before you are? You won't wonder long as they will troop in and collect form and the next thing, they will be called to be attended to before and you will be like, didn't this person just collect form now? For your koro koro eyes oh.
ReplyDeleteI laugh at these fools criticizing the guy wanted by EFCC. Sometime this week, this stupid efcc paraded fisher men for fishing illegally. . Is that what they were created for? Steven is just a product of the failed project called Nigeria. Bankole, Orji Uzo Kalu, Lucky Ighenedion are all corrupt Nigerians still running things. Efcc never found dem guity...What happened to Farouk Lukman? Guys, face your own huslte. Internet fraud reduced armed crime in this country. A lot of this guys pressing Piano for dey carry guns nows if not for lappy...if linda like make she no post my comment. Na my mind I dey yarn
