Operatives of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested
one Akintunde Vincent Abiodun, a
suspected internet fraudster, for
defrauding a New Zealand woman the
sum of $267,000, equivalent of N53
million.
According to the EFCC spokesman, Mr.
Wilson Uwujaren, Akintunde, 37, is a
Higher National Diploma Holder (HND),
from Federal Polytechnic Auchi, Edo
State.
Uwujaren said: “ Akintunde 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, which he purportedly
inherited from his father.
She further said that 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 was
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.
