EFCC Press Release
A suspected internet
fraudster, Sunday Onyena Chidiebere
has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for
allegedly defrauding a 70-year-old German, Marie, to the tune of €14,250 (Fourteen Thousand, Two
Hundred and Fifty Euros).
Chidiebere,
27, from Imo
State was arrested by operatives of
the Commission in Abuja
on Thursday March 26, 2015.
The suspect, who is a
Promoter and Event Manager based in Abuja
was alleged to have met the victim on one of the social media platforms in 2011
and developed a relationship with her.
In the course of the
relationship, Chidiebere started making demands for cash from the German for
different reasons, especially money for processing Visa to enable him visit her
in Germany.
The victim, on several
occasions, sent money to Chidiebere to meet his demands.
After
an endless wait, it dawned on the victim that she had been scammed, hence her
petition to the EFCC.
The suspect will soon
be arraigned in court.
