Jailed Cyber Fraudster Coordinates $100m Scam From Nigerian Prison

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-value 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.
