Abuja – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday, December 13, 2016 arraigned one Elvis Yemaye before Justice Olubunmi Banjoko of the Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Apo, Abuja on a 2-count charge bordering on impersonation, forgery and obtaining by false pretence to the tune of $17, 863.
The complainant, Albert John Kuba, an American citizen resident in Southern Moravia Town, Czech Republic, alleged that Yemaye fraudulently defrauded him of several thousands of United States of American dollars while threatening to release the recorded romance video of him to the public as well as issues that bordered on remittance of inheritance.
According to the complainant, Yemaye started his blackmail when the victim decided to back out from an earlier business of making him (Kuba) a beneficiary of his inheritance, a business later discovered to be phony.
It was also alleged that the suspect claimed to be one Tommy Rex (Jnr.) the picture of whom he used to lure his victims to sending money to him.
