The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has
recovered and returned the sum of 10, 540 Euros to a polish victim
of Internet love scam. A statement from EFCC says the victim,
simply identified as Jamina, was allegedly duped 40,000 Euros by
a Benin based internet fraudster identified as Gabriel Oseremen
Xavi who operates a fake Facebook account with the name, Collins
Page.
The suspect was traced to Benin, Edo State, where he was arrested
by EFCC operatives following a petition by the victim.
Speaking during the presentation of the sum of 10,540 Euro
recovered from the suspected Internet fraudster at the Belgium
Embassy, Abuja yesterday September 2nd, EFCC Chairman,
Lamorde, charged Western diplomats to sensitize their citizens
against Internet love scam. He also urged them to focus more on
lonely elderly people who have been found to be easy prey, added
that
“All the assets acquired by the suspect from the proceeds
of the crime will be disposed off at the conclusion of trail,
and the money returned to the victim.”
The high point of the occasion was the presentation of the money
to the Belgian Ambassador, Mr. Stephane De Loecker and his
Polish counterpart, Mr. Andrzej Dycha, by Lamorde Expressing his
gratitude, the Belgian Ambassador, De Loecker, thanked the
Nigerian government as well as the EFCC for what he described as
‘its commitment to curbing Internet scams.’’
He remarked that it was his first time of witnessing the restitution
of a victim of scam by any law enforcement agency and urged the
EFCC not to rest on her oars. The envoy assured that the Belgian
government would carry out rigorous campaigns to sensitize its
citizens on the dangers of love scam.
