NEW DELHI: With the arrest of a Nigerian national and his Indian woman accomplice, the crime branch of Delhi Police claimed to have busted a gang involved in an e-mail lottery scam. Obaseki Prince (32), a Nigerian national, and Boni Sushila James (26) from Manipur, were arrested from outside IGI airport on February 24 following a probe into a complaint filed by one Rakesh (21). Rakesh claimed he was cheated of Rs 90,000. The accused told him that he had won a 7.5 lakh pound lottery.

Their victims belonged to various parts of India and were mostly well-to-do people. "Prince came to India in March 2008. Some of his Nigerian friends were already into lottery fraud and helped him start his own operations. He met Boni through some friends and together they started cheating people," Ashok Chand, DCP (crime).

Prince allegedly specialised in sending fake spoofed emails through "nationwidebank@englandmail.com". "The location of the sender is difficult to find in such spoofed e-mails. The lottery promised a windfall to the victim. Once hooked, the victim was asked to send information to an e-mail account generated by Prince," said Joy Tirkey, additional DCP (crime).

Prince used to ask the victims to keep the matter secret till the amount was received by them. He told the victim that releasing of the funds would require some small fee. To make the offer seem authentic, calls were also made by some persons from England using telephone numbers +448713159061, +447010995814 and +447045755224.

The six bank accounts used by Prince belonged his friend and co-accused Boni. "Sometimes the victims were provided mobile phone numbers in India which were usually taken on fake identification documents," Chand said.

I think if we will rate the ethnic group spoiling, tarnishing, blackmailing, and distroying the image of Nigeria, in "my opinion" here they are:

1) Number 1 are Igbo Peoples in diaspora; India, China, US, Bratain al most everywhere,

2) Yoruba

3) Hausa (Minority)

4) Others.

Do you have any evidence that Yorubas or Hausas in Britain for instance do not commit crime?
