Hope Olusegun |
Aroje
was one of two Malaysia-based Nigerian undergraduate fraudsters
arrested by the EFCC in the closing weeks of 2012 at the 1004 Housing
Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos following a tip- off. The 25 year-old indigene of Okene, Kogi State
claims to be a student of Computer Science at the Kuala Lumpur
Metropolitan University, Malaysia. But the Commission’s investigation
fingered him as the arrow head of an intricate web of internet fraud
scheme that traverse two continents.
His
accomplice, Tafida Ibrahim is a Bureau De Change operator. Through him,
Aroke was able to launder proceeds of multiple scams to the tune of
over N31million. The duo enjoy a cozy business relationship that saw
Ibrahim travel to Malaysia twice between September and October 2012 at the instance of Aroke.
When
Aroke was arrested, a search conducted by EFCC operatives on his
apartment led to the recovery of several items such as laptops, iPad
phones, travelling documents, cheque books, flash drives, internet
modem, and three exotic cars - a Mercedes Benz Jeep, One 4Matic Mercedes
Benz Car and a Range Rover Sport SUV.
Operatives of the EFCC also downloaded over 80 implicating documents from the laptops recovered from him.
