The police in Lagos on Thursday paraded an aggrieved
fraudster, Henry Ezechie with six others who allegedly
specialise in internet fraud.
The suspects were all arrested on Saturday at
Ajah, after Ezechie who felt cornered in a $7,090 deal he
had with Kenneth Eric alias Biggie, petitioned the police
alleging that the others were kidnappers and fraudsters.
The Nation gathered that ,detectives from the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence (SCIID) Panti-
Yaba stormed Eric’s Ajah residence and arrested
Stephen Onwunama, Jacob Chukwuka and two others.
However, Onwunama and Chukwuka have both denied
being criminals insisting that they were just Biggie’s
friends and usually visited his home.
Ezechie who admitted reporting to the police said he
was angry that Biggie refused to give him his 80 percent
share of the loot
“Biggie is the one owing me. We had a $7,090
deal and he refused to give me my 80 percent
share of the money and so, I took the payment
slip to the police to report. We do yahoo
business (Internet fraud). It was my deal. He is
the picker and so, his share is 20 percent.
“Picker is the person who receives the money and
sends to Nigeria. He has contacts in America
who pick the money and send through money
transfer. I have been doing this business for
some years now to survive, but this was my
major breakthrough and he refused to give me my
money. It is dating that we do. We use Match,
Facebook and other sites,” he said.
But Eric, who admitted he was into Internet fraud,
denied being a kidnapper. He also denied defrauding
Ezechie, claiming that the deal did not click.
“Henry alleged me. He gave me a transaction of
N300,000 which did not click and he went to the
police to claim that I was a kidnapper and a
fraudster. He left what we were doing and started
talking rubbish. Whoever gave him that receipt he
took to the police was just deceiving him. I do
Facebook loto. We tell victims that if they pay
$800 they will win $100,000. Most of our victims
are white people because they are greedy,” he
said.
Onwunama who denied being a fraudster said he only
came to visit his friend and he was arrested.
He claimed that he was a government worker in Delta
State, adding that he laid somewhere in the room when
the police came and searched everywhere.
“They found nothing on me. They searched my
phones and laptop and they didn’t see anything
that has to do with fraud in it. I was just visiting
my friend and I have spent two weeks in his
place. I was to go back to Asaba on Sunday
before I was arrested on Saturday. I don’t know
how it is an offence to be a friend to a fraudster,”
he claimed.
Chukwuka also denied being a fraudster, insisting that
he only went to Kenneth’s place after he heard the
police were there.
“I was at my house when I heard that the police
were at Kenneth’s place to arrest him that he was
a kidnapper and a fraudster. So, I went there with
my younger brother to explain that I know him.
That he was not a kidnapper. That’s how I was
also arrested. I did not do anything wrong. I have
never been a criminal in my life,” he said.
Parading the suspects, Police Commissioner, Fatai
Owoseni said they will be charged to court at the
completion of investigation.
