The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday December 15, 2015, arraigned Aigbe Joseph (alias Anthony Styler Malan) and Dennis Igbinoba (aka David Clark, Engr. Phil Anderson, Engr. Tim Hilton, Engr. Williams Clark) before Justice A. M Liman of the Federal High Court, sitting in Benin, Edo State on separate count charges bordering on Internet fraud and obtaining money by false pretence.

Joseph and Dennis were arrested in Benin City, Edo State following intelligence report on their involvement in internet scams. Laptop computers and phones were recovered from their homes during a search by EFCC operatives.

In his confessional statement, Joseph said he had been involved in several internet fraud and collected the sum of ($50,000) Fifty Thousand United State Dollars from one Destiny, an America citizen. He stated further that he used part of the money to buy a Toyota Camry car, and also rented an apartment.

Dennis, the second defendant, revealed that he chats with foreign women on social media platforms (facebook/yahoo mail) while posing as a white Civil Engineer resident in London. Joseph and Dennis pleaded not guilty to the two and four counts of fraud preferred against them, respectively.

One of the counts reads, “that you Aigbe A. Joseph, sometime between 2014 and 2015 in Benin City, Edo State within the jurisdiction of this Honorable court did with intent to defraud attempt to obtain the sum of Twenty Thousand Dollars from Savita Shamsunder as Anthony Styler Malan, that the money is for your tax clearance for a construction job in France, facts which you knew or ought to know are false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1 (1) (b) and read together with Section 9 (2) both of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and Punishable under Section 1 (3) of the same Act”.

Justice Liman, granted the defendants bail in the sum of N1million each and one surety in like sum. Surety must have also have landed property within the jurisdiction of the honorable court.

That's the worst part of their life, they spend foolishly. He can build a good apartment from the money instead of renting apartments all over the city with expensive cars. At least if you finish your jail term , you will have a house to hide your head (that's if you even build the house secretly cos yahoo guys like showing.)

When will EFCC stop all this sh.it. This boys are not Internet Scammer but Freedom fighter. How many times did they see FBI parading any of their citizen of selling arms in black market that has cost Millions of innocent souls worldwide ? Trillions of dollars stolen to their land from Nigeria is making their economy blooming and someone is arresting our jobless boys for trying to create employment for themselves by bringing back our stolen fund through their brain. Note FG, defrauding fellow Nigeria is a Scam but bringing back our stolen fund by trick deserves National honor. Quote me by spewing trash @ your own peril.

Nonsense undecided
You make disjointed statements here and there.
And then you appeal to Nigerians emotions by talking about joblessness as the cause for this.
When greed is the cause and mental laziness.
Anyways, both have been arrested. Go and break them from jail

Well I came to check the names... and I was disappointed because they are my brothers ...

Is this karma's way of getting back at me?

I was looking forward to seeing names from that region that are professional in internet fraud and never knew my brothers have taken a cue from them..


Moral of the story....

We should not politiciize/ tribalize nor derive joy in mocking any form of wrong doing by any tribe.

We are all Nigerian and we should see our selves as one.
