EFCC arrests four in Abuja for allegedly attempting to carry out a fraudulent $200,000 (₦72 million) wire transfer from an unsuspecting foreigner’s bank account.
The Abuja Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested four suspects for allegedly attempting to carry out a fraudulent bank wire transfer of $200,000 from an unsuspecting foreigner’s bank account.
“A team of EFCC operatives swooped down on the suspects as they were about to transfer the said amount from the account of an unsuspecting foreigner into a domiciliary account in Nigeria,” EFCC’s spokesman Tony Orilade said in a statement on Saturday. Orilade further stated that 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.
