The Enugu Zonal Office of EFCC on December 17, 2018 arraigned Ogbonna Victor Chibuzor, a serving NYSC member, before Justice A.M. Liman of the Federal High Court, Enugu on a five-count charge bordering on intent to defraud, and possession of fraudulent documents.
.
Ogbanna’s arrest was sequel to series of raids carried out by operatives over the past one week in which several suspected fraudsters in their early 20s, alleged to be engaging in online fraud, were arrested, having been found to be living a flamboyant lifestyle not commensurate to the means of livelihood.
.
Analysis carried out on the computer of the suspected fraudster revealed certain incriminating documents intended to be used in swindling gullible Nigerians and foreigners alike.
.
.
Further investigations disclosed that Ogbanna uses his e-mail address activitygeneral@hotmail.com to send unsolicited emails to his victims using fake or stolen identity to legitimize his nefarious activities.
.
One of the documents was addressed to one Alan Christopher of BG Group Plc, Thames Valley Park, Reading, RG6, Berkshire, United Kingdom, with a rider “Your attention is needed” and a second paragraph talking about a £12.5M unclaimed contract fund.
.
He pleaded “not guilty” to the charges preferred against him and was granted bail to the defendant in the sum of N500, 000 and one surety in like sum. Ogbonna is to be remanded in prison custody until he fulfils his bail conditions.
