The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has concluded
arrangement to arraign Malaysia- based Nigerian Yahoo-Yahoo practitioners, Hope
Olusegun Aroke and his accomplice, Tafida Garuba Ibrahim before a Federal High
Court, Lagos tomorrow, Monday January 21, 2013. They will be docked before
Justice Mohammed Idris on two separate charges of Money laundering and False
Declaration of Assets.
Aroje was one of two Malaysia-based Nigerian undergraduate
fraudsters arrested by the EFCC in the closing weeks of 2012 at the 1004
Housing Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos following a tip- off. The 25
year-old indigene of Okene, Kogi State claims to be a student of Computer
Science at the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University, Malaysia. But the
Commission’s investigation fingered him as the arrow head of an intricate web
of internet fraud scheme that traverse two continents.

His accomplice, Tafida Ibrahim is a Bureau De Change
operator. Through him, Aroke was able to launder proceeds of multiple scams to
the tune of over N31million. The duo enjoy a cozy business relationship that
saw Ibrahim travel to Malaysia twice between September and October 2012 at the
instance of Aroke.
When Aroke was arrested, a search conducted by EFCC
operatives on his apartment led to the recovery of several items such as
laptops, iPad phones, travelling documents, cheque books, flash drives,
internet modem, and three exotic cars - a Mercedes Benz Jeep, One 4Matic
Mercedes Benz Car and a Range Rover Sport SUV.
Operatives of the EFCC also downloaded over 80 implicating
documents from the laptops recovered from him.
