The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Anambra State has nabbed a 29-year-old man for allegedly defrauding a German national of 10,000 Euros (about N4.5m).
The suspect, Chigozie Ndubusi Kizzito, an indigene of Arondizuogu in Ideato North LGA of Imo State, was said to have met the victim on a dating site known as Lesarion.com in August of 2019.
Confirming his arrest, the Civil Defence Public Relations Officer (CDPRO) in the state, ASC Okadigbo, said in a statement: “Recall, on the 29/4/2020 at about 1pm, following a complaint by Barrister Jideofor Chinwuba Esq on behalf of his client, Ms Oyeleke Patricia Magdalena ‘F’ a German on the alleged internet related fraud, NSCDC operatives through surveillance arrested one Chigozie Ndubusi Kizzito ‘M’ aged 29 years from Ndibe Okwu Mmuo Ndi Ejezie Kindred Arondizuogu in Ideato North LGA of Imo State.

“Suspect has equally made a voluntary confessional statement to the NSCDC.”
