The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has recovered and returned the sum of 10, 540 Euros to a polish victim of Internet love scam.

According to the spokesperson of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, the victim, simply identified as Jamina, was allegedly duped 40,000 Euros by the suspect, Gabriel Oseremen Xavi who operates a fake Facebook account with the name, Collins Page.

The suspect was traced to Benin City, Edo State, where he was arrested by EFCC operatives following a petition by the victim.
Uwujaren further noted that while speaking at the Belgium Embassy, Abuja during the presentation of the sum of 10,540 Euro recovered from the suspected Internet fraudster, Ibrahim Lamorde, chairman of EFCC, charged Western diplomats to sensitize their citizens against Internet love scam.

Lamorde also urged them to focus more on lonely elderly people who have been found to be easy prey.
He noted that all the assets acquired by the suspect from the proceeds of the crime would be disposed off at the conclusion of trail, and the money returned to the victim.

The high point of the occasion was the presentation of the money to the Belgian ambassador, Mr. Stephane De Loecker, and his Polish counterpart, Mr. Andrzej Dycha, by Lamorde.

Expressing his gratitude, De Loecker thanked the Nigerian government as well as the EFCC for its commitment to curbing Internet scams.
He remarked that it was his first time of witnessing the restitution of a victim of a scam by any law enforcement agency and urged the EFCC not to relent.

The envoy gave the assurance that the Belgian government would carry out rigorous campaigns to sensitize its citizens on internet love scam.

In his remarks, Dycha, who also expressed his gratitude, extended invitation to the EFCC to be part of the meeting of the association of EU Consuls to further “advise and sensitize them on Internet scam.”
