25 year old student bags 24 years jail term over N25m Fraud - Crime

The spokesman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),
Wilson Uwujaren,
confirmed that a 25 year old Nigerian student,
Hope Olusegun Aroke, has been jailed for 24 years over a N25m Internet scam.

According to The Guardian, Uwujaren said "the court found him guilty
of the two charges and was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment on
each of the two counts. The sentences are to run concurrently."

He also said "Troubles came for Aroke when an anonymous petitioner
wrote to the EFCC alleging that the Kogi State-born undergraduate was
involved in sundry fraudulent activities on the Internet. The EFCC
swung into action and investigated the Internet dealings of Aroke.

Investigations showed that he was involved in several romance scam
that fetched him a total sum of 4,000 riyadh (Malaysian currency).
"Aroke admitted sending the money to Nigeria through one Angela, who
later helped him deposit its naira equivalent, N25 million, in a new
generation bank."
