The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has given back $4,040 (approx. ) to a Brazilian woman who was scammed by a yahoo guy.
Well, an announcement by Dele Oyewale, the EFCC’s Head, Media, and Publicity, stated that the Brazilian, Debora Moreira, had accepted the receipt of the money.
As stated by Oyewale, the money was recovered by the Port Harcourt Zonal Office of the anti-graft agency from one Emmanuel Tope, a convicted fraudster. Tope was said to have swindled the Brazilian lady of the cash through a romance scam.
“EFCC commenced investigation of the scam in March 2019 and successfully recovered the money, prosecuted and got the fraudster convicted.
“The proceeds of crime was remitted into the victim’s account with Bank Itau S/A, Rua Ameirico Brasiliense, through the Central Bank of Nigeria,” Oyewale said.
