The Central Crime Station, India, has arrested three Nigerians for allegedly swindling two Indian citizens under the guise of offering them investment opportunities in hotel business.
The suspects, Onuoha Francis, 34, Valentine Anumaka, 28 and 35-year-old Eze Victor, were said to have allegedly aided and abetted one Terry Joseph, another Nigerian still at large, to defraud two Indian businessmen, Raju Jembiya and C. Sadashiva, to the tune of Rs 3.6 lakh.
According to Indian Times, Francis, Anumaka and Victor were apprehended by the Indian police alongside their six accomplices, after receiving complaints from the victims of the alleged scam.
The Indian Police, in its statement, explained that the alleged scam was set in motion about six months ago when Terry Joseph met and became friends with Sadashiva on Facebook, where he posed as a restaurant owner in Nigeria.
According to the statement, Joseph, along the line, told Sadashiva that he was interested in investing Rs 1 lakh in restaurant business in India and proposed to Sadashiva to partner with him.
Joseph was said to have directed Sadashiva to another Nigerian, who he said, would be in charge of the Indian investment.
The Indian police claimed that after Sadashiva had released his share of the investment sum to Joseph’s friend, the said friend became unreachable, as he switched off his phone.
Sadashiva, suspecting that he had been duped, then reported the case to the police, who arrested Francis, Anumaka and Victor in connection with the scam.
