Collins Samuel, an alleged fraudster who obtained $8000USD as Covid-19 benefit from the US state of Virginia, has been remanded in EFCC custody by Justice P. Mallong of the Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna, Kaduna State.

Samuel was remanded, after pleading ‘not guilty’ to a one count charge that borders on impersonation and obtaining by false pretences, brought against him by the Kaduna Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

He was arrested in Jos, Plateau State where he fraudulently represented himself as Ashley Coopper, an American citizen affected by Covid – 19, and obtained $8,000 in Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) from Virginia, United States.

Investigation revealed that Collins redeemed the $8,000 benefit through bitcoin wallet addresses he got from various cryptocurrency traders.

The charge reads, “that you Collins Samuel sometime in February, 2021 in Jos, Plateau State, within jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did commit an offence to wit;...

...impersonation when you fraudulently held yourself as one Ashley Cooper, a citizen of the United States of America and through that identity you applied and received a total sum of $8,000 (United State Dollars) from the State of Virginia as "Pandemic Unemployment Assistance)...

...with the intent to gain advantage for yourself and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 22 (2) (b) (1) & (ii) of the Cyber Crime (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc) Act, 2015”.
Justice Mallong adjourned the case till March 22, for determination of bail application and trial.

In a related development, the Kaduna Zonal Office today March 11, 2021 arraigned one Precious Bala Musa on a three count charge of internet-related fraud before Justice Mallong.

Death to all scammers..

Lie. Northern girls hardly associate with Southern guys. Don't let them fool you, the chance is very slim. It's the Southern girls that follow the Northern guys all because of few cash.

South west is the least corrupt region in Nigeria. You can only find this type of trouble makers in a highly corrupt place. All state in the SS shouldn't be in the level of other states in Nigeria. NDDC is more corrupt than the federal government itself. Same thing as Northern Nigeria..

Una problem too much. .

Don't get emotional. An average Nigerian is a criminal, they think smartness is equal to fraud. 50% of our youths are now into Fraud. No positive impact to the society.

Some Apologists will still come and shout create Jobs for them. So no legit job in US apart from fraud. An average Nigerian is a Criminal. You have the opportunity to leave this country, you still choose to use it negatively.

Train your Kids well.

Failure of parents to take care of their wards is the reason why the world is in chaos. If the parents of those Bandits did well, we won't be here discussing Banditry n co.

Parents are the reason why the world is in trouble, don't give birth if you can't take care or train them Don't use your Failure to hurt others. These guys are too young for this nonsense.

clickbait

It's now clear that fraudsters are now bold in Nigeria, i read that they are now protesting against EFCC. If you think hard working Nigerians will join criminals like you to protest against EFCC wake Up. No sensible person will join you this time around . I saw many Criminals and fraudsters gain their voices during the last #EndSars protest.

EFCC is here to Stay, nobody can end them.

If you are not a Criminal, there's no reason for you to be scared of Efcc.

Criminals are too much in this country.

It's now difficult to receive money from abroad due to Cbn policy , they have rolled out another Policy to
ban cryptocurrency trading in Nigeria. I'm not saying people who receive money from abroads are scammers ,but since these fraudsters are on the rise, it's now difficult for an average genuine Nigerian to receive money from abroad.

Same as Cryptocurrency, the yahoo boys have bastardize the system. The Funny thing is that all these fraudsters will find another means after destroying a Nice innovation and inventions.
I didn't say all cryptos trade are fraudulent , but most are fraudulent in Nigeria. Keep expecting more hash policies from the government.

Crime is prevalent throughout Nigeria, but these are the top 5 crime in our country.
