A wanted Nigerian man identified as Ikechukwu N. has been arrested in Argentina over alleged multiple romance scams involving thousands of women and leading an international cybercrime network.

The arrest, disclosed on Tuesday by INTERPOL via X account, was carried out as part of Operation Jackal, an INTERPOL-coordinated initiative targeting West African organised criminal groups.

According to INTERPOL, Ikechukwu’s arrest marked Argentina’s arrest of a most wanted #RedNotice fugitive who is also on the list of the international police via its Silver Notice project.

The statement explained that the Silver Notice, which pilot was launched in January 2025, aims at helping countries trace and recover criminal assets.

You think they just started engaging in criminal activities now? They have been doing it since the 1970s, it is just the internet that beams the searchlight on who the true criminals of Nigeria are, and where criminal activities originated from in Nigeria.

When their people kept boasting & gloating that they are the most industrious and commerce-driven people on Earth, this is the result “CRIME”.

They are the ones who bastardized our image and international passport abroad.

The simple truth is that none of their people can survive or excel or thrive in any community without crime. All their so-called Millionaires and Billionaires made their wealth from Crime.
