Two Nigerians arrested in Canada for allegedly selling $500k worth of fraudulently issued plane tickets

A 44-year-old Nigerian lady, Gbemisola Akinrinade and one Adebowale Adiatu, 32, have been arrested by the police in Canada for allegedly selling $500,000 worth of fraudulently issued plane tickets.

The suspects, who are residents of Brampton and Vaughan respectively, between June and December 2021, allegedly misrepresented themselves as employees of travel agencies based out of the United Kingdom to secure access to an online booking portal belonging to a “major European airline.”

Peel police in a statement said the suspects fraudulently sold valid airline tickets to unsuspecting customers and collected the payments for financial gain.

More than 250 airline tickets were sold at a total value of approximately $500,000, the statement disclosed. Adding that the majority of the customers who purchased the tickets were from the Calgary area and the flights were primarily to Africa.

According to CanadaToday, the suspects are facing charges which include fraud over $5,000, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, possession of property obtained by crime and obtain by false pretense, unlawful use of a computer.

Why is the woman now doing sad face Enjoy ya jail terms , stupid people

Na so her face be no be sad face she dey do.

Foolish greedy oafs.

They'll tell you they are looking for innocent people to rip when in Nigeria because the government and system aren't working and can't provide them jobs, or that they are taking back what was stolen from their forefathers.

Idiots...are there no jobs in Canada and everywhere else in the world we keep allowing our greed and quest for quick money make us disgrace ourselves and country?

Useless morons...

Watch how Canada will also begin to tighten their borders to us...

They should send them back to us after their jail terms to come join us in eating ewa, ag ado, and cassava.

What on earth is wrong with us Nigerians? These idiots probably have decent jobs but GREED...GREED.. GREEED! got the better of them.

deportation straight, no mercy!

Omoluabis.... Thank GOD.

Nyamiri don too Carry this trophy.

Na aboki be next.

Did you NOT see Yoruba name there

Are you Blind and Mad?
No offense..

I believe you.

ibechris:
I am igbo and these people are Nigerians ( no tribe attached) but the hate others would have meted on us if it were igbo names makes me wonder how foolish some people are in this country.

A Nigerian was killed in South Africa,the laziest black nation on earth whose reputation is to hate other nation,and many on nairalanders were happy and they just concluded they are igbos.

A visit to South Africa would ultimately prove to you the kind of country South Africa is. If u are doing well in their country,they will just hate u as if u took their destiny away,even the white don't condone them till this very day.

With the shape of their heads I doubt if they are yoruba.

It is only igbos that have flat heads. I urge the Canadian police to rigorously investigate their tribe.

Both are igbos but pretending to be yoruba si they can have a safe landing.

Igbos are popularly known for this kind of fraud abroad and not yorubas.

youngrichnigga:
Them wan spoil Canada too😡😡😡😡

Nigerians don first spoil Canada in the early 80s..it used to be free visa entry for Nigerians, until they started things like these. Well, these few ones cannot spoil the great work of Nigerians.

Criminals

My observation is this: the thread is quiet because the culprits are Yoruba. If the culprits were Igbo, it would have been a very busy thread

When was visa to Canada free?

NCAN

This is from our brethren from Oduduwa Republic trying to develop Canada with fraud

SWesterners, please stay away from fraud in the American continent, it seems to be your besetting sin there. SEasterners, please stay away from drug trafficking in the Asian continent, it seems to be your besetting sin there.

The one question l keep asking is why but why this is not what we should be known for and associated with abroad then talk more of here in Nigeria

NCAN

I SEE SKULL MINERS

Pad them up and lose the fking keys

I know 'someone' who landed abroad and in one year they have bought the entire street. Na the 'someone' be this...🤣

I guess the access to world-class healthcare and opportunities weren't enough still. Useless people that keep tainting our reputation everyfreakingwhere. Zero contentment, zero good initiatives. Magomago just to buga yi noni.

Make dem no worry,
oyibo prison be like 1 star hotel
for Nigeria 😁😀

Na so, so fat them go fat from
prison.

Naija people

That's why I always say I am Sudanese whenever I am booking a hotel or hostel in India. Because some bad elements have really tarnished the image of Nigerians, soo bad that in some states in India you won't get accommodation with a Nigerian passport, because they will automatically assume you're there to sell drugs or do some fraud.

From the comments have seen so far.. it’s now obvious that it’s the Yorubas that are tribalistic

When everybody for Nigeria wan japa, that's business for the Y people who sabi documents scams pass anything.

Ok naa. Canada has already cut its Naija quota after seeing all these rubbish

You be zombie true true

I don't get it. Did they commit fraud or they acted aa travel agents without having a licence


They sold valid tickets for a major airline and were paid. Did the airline not get their money or what? or was their ticketing site hacked?

Alright!

What’s wrong with Nigerians
