The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission says it has recovered a sum of $49,000
(about N17m) and five exotic cars from the mansion of a suspected Internet
fraudster (popularly known as Yahoo boy), Tomilola Owootomo.
The
vehicles are two Bugatti cars, a Mercedes Benz GLK, a Mercedes Benz car and a
Porshe, while the house, a duplex, was valued at N300m.
It
was learnt that EFCC operatives had raided the suspect’s house at Gwarimpa,
Abuja, on a tip-off.
However,
Owootomo, 22, evaded arrest.
The
acting spokesperson for the commission, Tony Orilade, in a statement on Friday
said fleeing Owootomo was one of the seven suspects whose locations were raided
by the operatives on Wednesday.
He
said six suspects – Chemezie Ezeife, John Onwochei, Joel Onwochei, Marvin
Nwankwo, Prince Ojenike, and Jude Olatekobowale – were arrested.
Items
allegedly recovered from Ezeife included a Mercedes Benz C300, a Toyota Camry
and a Lexus Jeep, four laptop computers, a passport, several wrist watches, two
iPhones, blackberry phones, and a Samsung phone.
The
spokesperson said the suspects would be charged to court after investigations.
