A suspected Internet fraudster, Akpaikpe Etim, has been arraigned by EFCC, before Justice J.E. Oyefeso of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos on an eight-count charge bordering on possession of fraudulent documents and obtaining money by false pretence. .
The 30year old who operates as Yahoo boy in Lekki, Lagos, obtained the sum of $4,000 from a victim in Singapore, after posting a dog for sale on an online platform. .
Investigation also revealed that the suspect, who does not have a stable job, had several inflows of money into his account, which he could not satisfactorily account for.
However, the prosecution counsel opposed the bail application. Consequently, Justice Oyefeso ordered the suspect to be remanded in Kirikiri Prisons and adjourned the case to February 18, 2018 for hearing of bail application.
