IN fulfillment and obedience to the judgement of the court delivered by Justice Morenike Obadina on March this year in which she ordered that all funds recovered from the jailed Lawal Nurudeen, be refunded to his victim. Mrs. Farida Waziri, Executive Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has directed that Rosalind Sumner, an Australian victim of love scam be paid the sum of N514, 212.10 and another $5,900 recovered from the Nigerian fraudster.
The payment is a restitution made by Lawal Adewale Nurudeen as ordered by a Lagos State High Court judgment against the convicted fraudster who was prosecuted and sentenced to 28 years imprisonment by Justice. Morenike Obadina of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja.
The jailed fraudster was first arraigned on November 31, 2008, by the EFCC, on 11 count charge bordering on Advance Fee Fraud. He was said to have defrauded Rosalind Sumner, an Australian, the sum of $47, 816.93 in a romance scam.
The N514, 212.10, was recently recovered from the convict’s bank account in Sterling Bank while another cash sum of $5,900 was recovered from his home.
