EFCC Arraigns Seven For SIM Swap Fraud In Kaduna by MrGidifeed: 1:17pm On Oct 11, 2019
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Kaduna Zonal Office on Thursday, October 10, 2019 arraigned seven suspected SIM Swap criminals in Kaduna.

They are: Okafor Samuel Obinna, Chigbo Pascal Chidi, Oha Chukwujekwu, Ahamefula Francis Izuchukwu, Ugonna Nelson Owete, Ikenna Henry and Chinyere Aniobi Jessica.

They were arraigned on two counts bordering on conspiracy and obtaining by false pretence before Justice Mohammed Tukur of the Kaduna State High Court.

Operatives of the EFCC had earlier in September, arrested six of them. They specialize in defrauding innocent Nigerians by using bank details obtained through their SIM cards swapped on Automated Teller Machine ATM.

One of the charges reads: “That you, Okafor Samuel Obinna, Chigbo Pascal Chidi, Oha Chukwujekwu, Ahamefula Francis Izuchukwu, Ugonna Nelson Owete, Ikenna Henry and Chinyere Aniobi Jessica and others now at large sometime in 2019 at Kaduna Judicial Division of the High Court of justice Kaduna State with the intent to defraud falsely obtained the sum of N2,911,480.00 (Two Million Nine Hundred and Eleven Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty Naira) from the Diamond Bank (now Access Bank)account of one Abdulrauf Bolaji, which was transferred after his SIM swap to several accounts under the pretence that the said sum was transferred by him, which you all knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offence Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”

They pleaded “not guilty” to the charges.

Following their plea, counsel for the EFCC, S.H. Sa'ad urged the court to fix a date for commencement of trial, and for the remand of the defendants in Correctional Service

Counsel for the defence, Usman Liman, however, informed the court that his clients had opted for a plea bargain, and intended to change their plea to “guilty”.

In a short ruling, Justice Tukur, ordered that six of them be remanded in Correctional Service custody, while Jessica should be remanded in EFCC custody due to her ill health and fixed October 11, 2019 for “hearing on the plea bargain application”.

Nothing is secure anymore. Somebody can not own a sim card in peace again. Kudos to Efcc anyway. They just prevented some upcoming victims from sorrow.

Is marginalisation the cause of this or mentality of government disapproval to their clamouring for secession or the country's economy? Even in saner economies, the news is thesame. Do better, we can't continue like this.

Dr. Tayo Oyedeji
@tayooye
There is a building in Palmgrove, Lagos that's been under construction for 40+ years. It's dilapidated and houses drug users.

My 90-year old uncle, an incredibly successful former director at Exxon Mobil, told me the story behind the building as a cautionary tale.

According to him, the building belongs to B***y B****n, one of his contemporaries in the 1960s. He claimed that B****n was the person that started the drug trade in Nigeria. The guy introduced Cocaine to a generation of Nigerian who became addicts and miscreants in the 60s.

B***y B****n made so much money from the drug trade that several Yoruba songs from the 60s eulogized his wealth. Ebenezer Obey has a song in his honor. He was balling while the rest of them (my uncle and his friends) were struggling to build a career. B***y B****n wanted to build the house in Palmgrove as a tribute to himself. But he died before it was completed.

According to my uncle, the Karma from the families he destroyed roiled his family. They lost the wealth he built and his children became addicts and miscreants. The house he wanted to build from the pains and sufferings of drug addicts became the home of drug addicts and miscreants. That house is still unfinished 40 years later and many of his kids became miscreants who couldn't continue his vanity project.

This was the point my uncle reiterated was: "You (young people) only see snapshots of time. I have studied people over 90 years. Those who feed off the pains of others receive equivalent measures of pain and leave some suffering as inheritance for their kids.

B***y B****n was the man, until he was not. Let's be careful, guys. Karma exists.

Monetizing other people's pain brings pain our way. And the pain and suffering that boomerangs often extends across generations.

Fraud kills.

Embezzlement of road maintenance funds kills people in road accidents.

Advance fee fraud destroys lives

Drugs kill.

Gambling kills.

Note: Karma visits the pain we cause others on us and our families. We have somehow created a society that says: "Get rich or die trying"

A society that glorifies wealth above wisdom and integrity. Our music and arts literally encourages people to do anything to acquire wealth.

That's a problem.

Remember, Karma is a thing.
