EFCC recovers N367, 000 for heartbroken American lady

Akugbe
An American lady who went searching for love online, got more than she bargained for, when she met and fell in love with a Nigerian man.


Before the victim, Margaret Sanders, residing in Sherman Texas, realized she was dating a fraudster, the suspect, Benjamin Akugbe, had already milked her 2000 dollars, equivalent of N367, 000.
Akugbe was arrested and the money recovered after the desperate lady petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to the EFCC spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, Sanders, through a petition dated July 9, 2013 alleged that she entered into the relationship on facebook, with someone who claimed to be Benny Brown from Warri, Delta State, with both agreeing to get married.
