The
cyber crime cell of Pune police, India has arrested a 43-year-old Nigerian
national from Delhi, who had a staggering 14 accounts in reputed banks
and has till now duped more than 90 people across India through lottery
scams to the tune of around Rs three crore.
The accused, identified as Igwe Festus Abraham was arrested in Delhi on Tuesday, May 24 and brought to Pune on Wednesday. He has been remanded in police custody till May 31, the police said.
The investigation was initiated by the cyber cell of Pune Police
after a woman registered a complaint of losing Rs 16.18 lakh to cheaters
in January this year, deputy commissioner of police (cyber and economic
offence wing) Deepak Sakore said.
"The woman received a mail in September 2015, informing her that she
has won a lottery worth Rs 4.92 crore. She provided her bank and other
details as asked in the mail," the DCP said.
"The accused then called up the woman and asked her to deposit money
from time to time under the pretext of various taxes and fees," Sakore added.
The accused met her at a hotel in Pune and gave a bag, telling her
that it contained US dollars and even took out four notes from the
bundle. He applied some chemical on the notes to show its genuineness.
"He told her that since the chemical was over, he will have to
procure it from the UK, so that remaining notes can be analysed. He then
left by handing over the suitcase to the woman," Sakore said.
The woman took the notes to the foreign exchange, where she came to
know that the suitcase contained plain papers, the officer said, adding,
"After realising that she has been duped, the woman lodged a police
complaint. We successfully tracked the accused and arrested him in New Delhi," said Sunil Pawar, an Inspector with Cyber cell.
During investigation, police came to know that the accused has duped
around 100 people across the country and got Rs 3 crore deposited to his
various bank accounts.

Igbos, you are endangering people's lives. You did this in South Africa, you saw the end result. You're destroying Nigeria's reputation that's already a cause of ridicule.
If you form your own country, you will not last if this is all you will be known for.
