He was arraigned on a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy and forgery. It was gathered that the accused person allegedly told the victim that he was currently in Africa to give aid to victims of Ebola disease and sought her assistance in managing his rental deposit while he was way.
The unsuspecting victim who agreed to help allegedly processed the rental deposits and received thousands of dollars in postal money order mailed directly to her by the accused person. She then allegedly deposited cheques, acquired cash and then transferred the funds through Western Union to Yusuf.
