Crime doesn't pay and never will. Money wey go give peace of mind even if na one naira better pass 40 million naira wey you go get wey you not go fit drink water drop cup. I go give una the summary of the gist wey I read for The Nation online newspaper
- The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the forfeiture of 1.982, 022, 84 units of Bitcoin worth N40million, to the Federal Government.
- The cryptocurrency, according to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), belongs to one Alkali Naziru Tanimu, suspected of involvement in internet fraud, locally known as Yahoo Yahoo.
- Justice Nicholas Oweibo, who made the order, also forfeited to the government an iPhone 12 Pro Max; iPhone 7, and all funds found in account numbers 0301510085 and 2174982616, domiciled in Guaranty Trust Bank Plc and UBA Plc, respectively, said to belong to Tanimu.
- Investigation suggested that the suspect was into dating scams where he poses as, and used the picture an Arab woman to defraud unsuspecting victims on the internet.
Now imagine the sleepless night wey this person don pass through to collect the N40m. I have always been curious as to what the FG, EFCC always do with the monies, cars and properties seized from internet fraudsters. Does any one have any idea?
