fraudster, Elvis Yemaye for allegedly
defrauding one A.J. Kuba, to the sum of $

collaboration with his cronies had swindled
him of huge sum of money running to
millions while threatening to release a
recorded romance video belonging him to the

his blackmail when the he, the victim decided
to back out from an earlier business of
making him a beneficiary of his inheritance,
a business he later found out to be a scam.

unsuspecting Kuba as Chief Barrister Elvis
Yemaye. He also parades himself as an
official of both the EFCC and the Central
Bank of Nigeria, CBN using various fictitious
e-mails.

claimed to be one Tommy Rex Jr., whose
picture he used to lure his victim to sending
money to him under the pretext of making
him a beneficiary of his inheritance.
