In quite another impressive breakthrough in its fight against
international crimes, the INTERPOL Unit of the Nigeria Police, headed by DCP
Adeyemi Ogunjemilusi, in conjunction with its counterpart in Abu-Dhabi, United
Arab Emirates, has located and effected the arrest of one Itumo Anthony
Chidebere, a suspected fraudster, who fled to Dubai after defrauding a Nigerian
businesswoman of a whopping sum of Two Million US Dollars.
The 35-year old suspect, who hails from Ebonyi State, has been
on the run for the past 13 months after perfecting his fraudulent deal. In
about June, 2012, the suspect was reported to have presented himself to the
said businesswoman as an Estate Broker in Dubai, claiming that he could
purchase a house for his victim. Relying on this assurance, the unsuspecting
complainant made a payment of $2,082,139 US Dollars to the suspect, on the
receipt of which the suspect disappeared without purchasing the said house, but
rather chose to be running from one country to another in a bid to evade arrest.
In the meantime, INTERPOL Abuja is working with their United
Arab Emirates counterpart and the Federal Ministry of Justice to facilitate the
extradition of the suspect to Nigeria.
While commending the personnel of the INTERPOL section for this
and other numerous successes recorded in international anti-crime operations,
the Inspector-General of Police, IGP MD Abubakar reaffirmed the determination
of the Force to bring to justice all criminals connected with international
crimes, promising to strengthen the bond between the Nigeria Police and their
counterparts in other countries in resolving all trans-border crimes.
The IGP further advised Nigerians in Diaspora to steer clear of
fraud, drug trafficking and other related crimes, noting that engaging in such
criminal activities could bring the image of Nigeria to disrepute.

ReplyDeleteHas the police ever ask the woman where she got the money from and what type of business she is doing. I think that by doing that investigation many money bag who got wealth illegal means will be arrested. But my question is this, who will arrest them because they are the one in power. Even that was arrested in Dubai, by the time he get Nigeria; within 3days the quy will be release.
