One Hope Olusegun Aroke, a convicted Internet fraudster, currently in Nigerian Correctional Centre (formerly Nigerian Prison), has been caught by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for masterminding an Internet fraud of over $100m.
Aroke, who is serving a 24-year jail term, is still in "active communication with other high valued targets that are currently being investigated by the commission for various offences relating to computer fraud and money laundering," the EFCC said.
The anti-graft agency stated that an investigation into the fund revealed that Aroke masterminded and commissioned the Internet scam.
