In what is considered a breakthrough in its fight against international crimes, the Interpol Unit of the Nigeria Police Force, headed by DCP Adeyemi Ogunjemilusi, has in conjunction with its counterpart in Abu-Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, arrested one Itumo Anthony Chidebere, a suspected fraudster, who fled to Dubai after defrauding a Nigerian businesswoman of $2 million.
The 35-year-old suspect from Ebonyi State had been on the run for the past 13 months after perfecting the deal.
NE gathered that in June, 2012, the suspect presented himself to the said businesswoman as an estate broker in Dubai, claiming that he could purchase a house for his victim.
He was said to have presented several documents and samples of influential Nigerians he claimed to have assisted to buy houses.
Relying on this assurance, the unsuspecting victim made a payment of $2,082,139 to the suspect, after which the suspect disappeared without purchasing the said house.
He chose rather to run from one country to another in a bid to evade arrest.
Meanwhile, Interpol at force headquarters is working with its United Arab Emirates counterpart and the Federal Ministry of Justice to facilitate the extradition of the suspect to Nigeria.
Commending the personnel of the Interpol unit for the successes recorded in international anti-crime operations, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, reaffirmed the determination of the Force to bring to justice criminals connected with international crimes.
He promised to strengthen the bond between the Nigeria Police Force and its counterparts in other countries in resolving all trans-border crimes.
Abubakar further advised Nigerians in Diaspora to steer clear of fraud, drug trafficking and other related crimes, noting that engaging in such criminal activities could bring the image of Nigeria to disrepute.
If u say anything now they will tag u as an "anti-Igbo"; but the facts speak for themselves. Shameless lazy idiots.
ReplyDeleteIts all your generations are idiots, you lazy dirty pigs. @ anonymous. Thank your God that u hv us we the igbos among dis nation, if not it would hv been a 10th world country. Foul
Delete9:52am Anonymous ur a big gool n an idiot. Evry tribe av gd n bad eggs. Read news n comment wisely mumu.
ReplyDeleteYou are anti Igbo cos it's not only Igbo's that are committing fraud in this nation.
ReplyDeleteYea, is better than the everyday news of defiling of 24months old baby just to make money... Idiot who is the one lazy here... Okpo...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 9:52am has said it all. The Igbos are the biggest problem of Nigeria. People that often travel to Europe, America and other rich Asian countries places like Japan can testify. Most times when you enter with a Nigerian passport, their immigrations ask you if you Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo. They know the Igbos as big fraudsters. Shameless people.
ReplyDeleteigbos are quick at quoting spurious figures of their numbers in big cities and self acclaimed development of other states apart from their own but they dislike if the truth is read to them that they make up 90% of fraudsters, 419s, armed robbers, fake product sellers, ritualists, i before others attitude, greedy and soooooo on. What an enterpricing tribe. Anywayz, just change ur ways so nigerians can be perceived better in other countries. Dont take it personal ooooooooo
ReplyDeleteYou all are just being tribally blinded in this forum, my question is where on earth did the woman in question get $2,082,139 cash from? No question is been asked in that regards, EFFC should first question the woman. The guy man did a good job jare only say he come fuck up at the end.
ReplyDeleteThe victim is a big fool. If you have 2m dollars and cannot go to Dubai yourself to purchase a house legally, na money miss road be that.
