The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it has arrested a 38-year-old man, Festus Abiona, indicted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations over alleged involvements in internet fraud.
“Abiona had been on the wanted list of the commission for more than eight months over the alleged fraud case before luck ran against him and he was finally arrested in his hideout. According to him, the suspect, on sighting the operatives of the EFCC, flushed all his SIM cards down the toilet and destroyed all his Automatic Teller Machines to destroy evidence.
The suspect, said the statement, had refused to step out of his house for the past five months for fear of being arrested since he got wind of the EFCC/FBI trail on him.According to him, the FBI had in a petition dated July 10, 2019, alleged that the suspect was involved in Business Email Compromise and other computer-enabled fraud.
