Clement Peter, one of the suspects arrested for wire fraud

Four persons who attempted carrying out a fraudulent Bank Wire Transfer to the tune of $200,000 ( 72000000.00 Nigerian Naira) has recently been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC
The suspected cyber fraudsters were identified as follows;

• Ajiero Onyeka,

• Clement Peter,

• Mustapha Zubiri,

• Agbo Austine Taylor.

A team of EFCC operatives in Abuja swooped down on the suspects as they were about to transfer the money from the account of an unsuspecting foreigner into a domiciliary account in Nigeria.

Bank Wire Transfer fraudsters have a practice of using other people’s domiciliary account to receive fraudulent money with the promise of giving the account holder a commission from the money.

In some other instances, some of the account holders will be kept totally in the dark as to the source of the fund. When the transaction is completed, the account holder will become the hunted criminal, while the main perpetrator will disappear without traces.

The public is hereby warned to be vigilant and not to give out their account numbers for the purpose of receiving money on behalf of anyone

The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
