India police arrests two Nigerian nationals for online fraud by ASAPFERG1(op): 7:47pm On Jan 24, 2023
Two Nigerian nationals, Akuchie Ifeanyi Franklin and Fidel Ndubuisi, have been arrested in India for alleged involvement in online fraud.



The cyber police in Kerala arrested Akuchie, from Bengaluru on Monday, January 23, 2023, following a complaint by a Nallalam resident who had reportedly lost around N11m in the fraud operated by the suspect and his two aides.



According to the police, the complainant had placed an advertisement on an e-commerce portal for selling imported iPads.
The accused, who expressed interest in purchasing the products, allegedly forged the domain of Wells Fargo, an American bank, and convinced the complainant that he could complete the transaction provided that the complainant made a temporary payment of ?20 lakh to his account.



The accused had also allegedly forged a WhatsApp account and sent messages in the names of Reserve Bank of India officials to mislead the seller. Later, he claimed that he would return the amount to the seller once the formalities were over.



Police sources said the three accused were nabbed and charged under various sections of the Information Technology Act and the Indian Penal Code after tracing phone calls and social media accounts.



The investigation team had also managed to seize a few electronic devices that were used by the suspects.



Similarly, Cyber Crime Police Station of Avadi Police Commissionerate in Chennai arrested Ndubuisi and sent him to Central Puzal Prison.



According to the police, Ndubuisi was previously arrested by the Tuthukodi Cyber Crime Police for an online fraudulent cheating case.

Hmmm.

The Indians and Indian govt are still foot dragging on when they will take this battle to the Igbo homeland of these foot soldier guys where they are actively recruited and shipped to India to do their masters' biddings.

Other Africans and indeed all countries of the world also get informed in crime. The only difference is that while other countries hide such news we Nigerians will use them as headlines. Just watch how some mugu mods will also rush to move this to front page.

Senselessness.

One of the criminals is Akuchie Ifeanyi Franklin.

The other criminal is Fidel Ndubuisi

But abiama made it very clear that the day we accept responsibility for our criminal action is the day he will deny us.

So, we hereby blame Tinubu for this crime.

Something is going on in the SE

The Elders need to step up their game and explain to the youths why a good name is better than Riches

It is happening all over Nigeria but in the SE the pursuit of Wealth is becoming too desperate and irrational
