FBI Declares Nigerian Wanted Over$770,000 Internet Love Scam by Toyboyz: 7:41pm On Sep 03, 2013
Olaniyi Victor Makinde, a 26 year old serial internetfraudster,is top on the wanted list of the United States of America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI. Makinde has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Trouble started for Makinde when investigations revealed that he had been defrauding several foreigners, especially Americans in marriage scam and related offences, through the internet. He was also accused of masterminding serious hacking practices against an American online pay roll services company, Intuit, in California .
A source in FBI had hintediReports-ng that Makinde who is also known as Olaniyi Jones and Andrea Bradley was wanted by the San Francisco Divisionof the FBI. According to the source, the US government viewed the activities of Makinde seriously and as such had to send three FBI agents including a supervisory special agentand two special agents, toNigeria last quarter to meet with their Nigerian counterparts over the arrest of the fraudster. The fraudster was eventually arrested on September 6 last year.
iReports-ng learnt that the FBI agents were also joined by another official of the US consulate Lagosto obtain statements from Makinde when he was eventually arrested by EFCC operatives ahead oftheir request for his extradition to the US to face trial with some of his American accomplices in the serial fraud. The Nigerian authorities were said to have reached an agreement with the FBI agents to prosecute Makinde in Nigeria before considering handing him over to the US government. He was said to have been arraigned before a high court judge in Akure on November 26 last year over a$620,225.04 fraud and later remanded at a prison custody in the state capital.
It was however drama galore on Tuesday, January 11, when the 26-year old internet fraudster already in custody at the Olokuta medium prison, Akure , was docked again by EFCC, over a fresh$150,000 scam.
Makinde is a fresh graduate of the University of Ado Ekiti where he graduated with second class honours in Economics from UNAD. He started his 419 heist early 2009 while he was still an undergraduate.
