EFCC Nabs Another FBI Suspect Wanted For $2.5m Internet Fraud by Metrixnews: 6:35pm On Feb 10, 2020
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ilorin Zonal Office has arrested a 38-year-old man, Festus Akinyemi Abiona who was indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, FBI over his alleged involvement 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 out on him and he was finally arrested in his hideout.

Operatives of the EFCC smoked him out of his hiding on February 6, 2020 from his beautifully built duplex in Arepo, Ogun State. He had gone into hiding and deliberately refused to step out of his house, when he got wind of the fact that the EFCC was investigating him. For the past five months, he was in hiding for fear of being arrested.

In the FBI petition dated 10th of July 2019, it was alleged that he was involved in Business Email Compromise, BEC, and other internet-related fraud.

The petition stated further: “In May 2016, the FBI received information that an actor or actors bypassed online security to steal money from retirement accounts held by an insurance company for Public Workers in the United States, which resulted in the loss of approximately $2,500, 000.

“The accounts contained numerous communications between Abiona and other criminal co-conspirators seeking to commit business email compromise (BEC), Tax Refund Fraud, and other Computer enabled fraud”.

Built that kind of house in a village like that


Moment of silence for all the girls that went down

I don't do Yahoo but I'm 100% sure that if I did and I got money, nobody will know anything, even the lady I marry wouldn't notice anything, how all these guys are smart enough to scam but not smart enough to Launder their money remains a mystery

"Smoked out of his hiding"...

Na rabbit, abi EFCC dem dey waka with that kpanggolo wey we dey put charcoal take dey hunt rabbit those days for village?

He's still young at 38, and sure can still get on a honorable path after true repentance to eke out a legitimate source of living instead of stealing and reaping from a farm he hadn't planted.

This is the life of everyone whether politicians or the young boy on the street who feels he/she is smart by garnering crookedly what isn't theirs by right. You'd lose it all crookedly and start afresh, hopefully, you'd still be fit and in the best frame of mind to make amends and lead a clean life.

You can never earn and enjoy peace by ripping off someone else.

Your day of recompense will certainly come in one way or the other.

Fast lane is the highest way to eternal doom and destruction.

Earn and live right.

This is my gospel.
