The Nigeria Police Force has arrested two high-profile suspects for their alleged roles in a series of cyber and financial crimes, including a $210,000 investment scam and a ₦452 million charity fraud scheme.
Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
He said the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Abuja confirmed the arrests of Robert Harms, a Canadian national, and Ms. Okeke Njaka, a Nigerian, in separate operations coordinated by INTERPOL operatives.
Harms was arrested over a fraudulent investment scheme targeting Tepison Enterprises, a company based in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State.
According to the statement, acting on a petition filed by the firm, police investigations revealed that the Canadian was introduced to the company through a Polaris Bank account officer in June 2023. This article was originally published by Channelstv and has been adapted for further clarity.
