The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned two students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Akwa, Genesis Arinze Daniel and Chinedu Ayogu Christopher for fraud.
They were arraigned on a separate one count charge of cybercrime before Justice N.I Buba of the Federal High Court, sitting in Enugu, Enugu State.
The defendants who were docked on Thursday January 21, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The duo were arrested based on intelligence on their alleged involvement in cybercrime activities and obtaining money by false pretense from unsuspecting victims, mostly foreigners.
Investigation by the EFCC revealed how Genesis created and operated Google and Instagram accounts using stolen identity of Thomas Bradley, a United Kingdom national based in Florida, USA, to defraud other foreigners.
