The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Uyo Zonal Office, on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, arraigned one Inwang James John, before Justice A. A. Okeke, of the Federal High Court, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining by false pretence.
Inwang ran into troubled waters when one Peter Eyakeno Sunday, filed petitioned before the EFCC alleging scam in issuance of Visa. Sequel to the petition, the operatives moved into action and arrested the suspect.
According to the defendant, he approached the accused for assistance in processing Visa to Ireland for studies, but instead of the defendant to help him procure an Ireland Visa, he took advantage of the victim and conspired with one Chikamnele Polycarp Chinenye, who is currently at large and allegedly defrauded Eyakeno Sunday to the tune of N1, 299,000.00 (One Million, Two Hundred and Ninety Nine Thousand Naira), under the pretence that the money would be used to process the Visa and also pay his Tuition fees, which he never did.
