hehehe..........A 38-year-old Nigerian national, who is staying illegally
in India, was arrested in connection with online fraud from a restaurant
in New Delhi last Sunday, May 6.
According to local media, he was using the bank account of a
woman from a well-to-do family for transferring money earned by frauds.
SP (cyber cell) Jitendra Singh said that a woman named
Glory alias Saumu from Tanzania was arrested in connection with online
frauds a few days ago. She had contacted a city-based businessman and
later took Rs 4 lakh from him after calling him to Delhi on the pretext
of some business related deal. Glory’s associates had made an
objectionable video of the businessman to blackmail him. Glory had
revealed that she was using the bank account of a woman, Rita Katju of
Delhi for the transaction of money.
During investigation it was found that Rita’s account was
being used by another person, Kingsley Chibueze. Kingsley had taken ATM
card of Rita to use it to withdraw money earned by frauds.
Ongoing investigation revealed that Rs 16 lakh were
credited to the bank account of Rita and Kingsley had even withdrawn the
money using her ATM card many times.
Later, a team of cyber cell was sent to Delhi to arrest the
accused. The team contacted Rita, who was employed in airlines. Rita
informed that she was working with an online marketing company when she
met Kingsley. She told the cyber cell officials that she had given her
ATM card to Kingsley for business purpose. The Cell officials told her
to meet Kingsley after which she called him to a restaurant from where
he was arrested by the team. The role of Rita is also being investigated
by the cyber cell.
Kingsley was brought to Indore on Sunday and he informed
that he had withdrawn money using Rita’s ATM card. He was associated
with a gang involved in online frauds. The kingpin of the gang is Obizie
of Nigeria. Kingsley used to send him money after deducting his
commission. He said that many African nationals, who are indulged in
online frauds, are staying in Delhi for many years.
SP Singh further said that Kingsley Chibueze had come to
the country in 2011 on three-month business visa. After expiry of visa,
he didn’t return to Nigeria and was staying here illegally. He was
changing his place in Delhi in order to evade arrest.
He informed that thousands of Nigerians are staying in
Delhi illegally and they have made gangs for online frauds on the
pretext of marriage, jobs, lotteries etc.
