Nigerian Banker, Students Dupe Malayasian Lady in
Western Union Scam
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a banker with a new generation
bank, Mr. Tobi Adebayo and two undergraduates of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, for
allegedly using a marriage scam to dupe a Malayasian lady of $21,600 U.S dollars.
A statement made available to Sunday Tribune by the commission’s spokesperson, Mr. Femi
Babafemi stated that, “A banker who works in the Western Union Desk of one of the new generation
banks, Mr. Tobi Adebayo, has been arrested by EFCC over his role in a marriage scam involving two
undergraduates of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye and a Malaysian lady who was swindled
of $21,600.
“The prime suspect, Mr. Oyewale Jide Akeem claimed that he met the victim, Ms Susan Choo on a
dating site in the internet and they started chatting. Soon, the chatting blossomed into a love affair. The
18- year old undergraduate who had assumed the identity of a non-existent Mark Park Lofton, an
American national resident in Nigeria, said the only condition that the lady gave for the consummation
of their romance was that he must be a Christian which he readily met.
And to convince his prey about his identity, he downloaded the picture of a tall American from the
internet and sent it to the victim in Malaysia.
“Choo, who is a divorcee with two children, was fascinated by the photograph of the white man she
saw, and she started dreaming of an enduring relationship. Unknown to her that she was being conned,
she stepped up her chatting with the ‘white lover.’ The online romance was so hot to the extent that the
victim contemplated coming to Nigeria so they could solemnise the relationship.
“She was so carried away that she promised to take her ‘fiancé’ to Pastor Temitope Joshua of
Synagogue Church of All Nations because, as she claimed, the Pastor was known to her. The suspect
also promised to take his ‘fiancé’ to a fictitious Pastor Mathew Kalejaiye of non- existent Lifedon
Christian Church Lagos.
“Now conscious that he had the victim under his spell, Akeem began to release the tricks from his rich
arsenal. He started by telling the woman that he would like to visit her in Malaysia before she arrives
Nigeria for the marriage and that he would need money for ticket and other travel expenses. Choo
swallowed the bait and agreed to send money through Western Union.
“At this juncture, the fraudster realised that he would need to recruit more people to perfect the scam.
He got a ready accomplice in 18-year old Idowu Olukunle Joseph, his childhood friend who is also an
undergraduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University. Idowu’s duty was to present his identity card to collect
the money being sent by the sucker and take it to Akeem for a commission.
“When they realised that the ID card might give them away because of the frequency with which they
visited the bank, they changed their strategy. The second suspect, Idowu stole his father’s driver’s
license which they used to collect more money in the bank.
“But despite the ingenuity of the duo, it wouldn’t have been so easy to defraud the 35 -year old
Malaysian but for the ignoble role played by the third suspect, Mr. Adebayo, who was in charge of the
Western Union Money Transfer desk at the Egbeda branch of the bank. He threw banking ethics into
dustbin and provided cover for the fraudsters for a fee and in the process, the trio successfully
defrauded the victim of $21,600.
