The EFCC has arrested the head of the Kirikiri Prisons, Emmanuel Oluwaniyi, a Dep Controller & another top official of the Nigeria Correctional Services, Hemeson Edwin, for aiding a convicted fraudster, Hope Aroke to transact several business deals worth over $1M from inside.
Both top officials were arrested for helping a convict, Hope Aroke, who is serving a 24-year jail term, to escape from Prisons & lodged at the Police Hospital under the pretext of being ill & using that excuse to freely transact numerous deals & attend social events in the town.
Aroke was one of the two Malaysia-based Nigerian undergraduate fraudsters arrested by the EFCC towards the end of 2012 at the 1004 Housing Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos, following a tip-off. He was eventually convicted by Justice L Okunnu of Lagos State High Court, Ikeja.
He was convicted on two counts of obtaining money by false pretence, cheque cloning, wire transfer and forgery. He was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment on each of the two counts.
