Indian police arrest fake Nigerian Doctor for internet fraud, items recovered
Police operatives in India have arrested a Nigerian man, Patrick Chizorom Orajaka, 35, for alleged Cyber fraud.
The suspect was arrested by a police team from an apartment in Dwarka area of New Delhi and brought on transit remand to Odisha on December 15, 2022.
The police in a statement said the suspect was arrested following a complaint by a woman from Cuttack, Odisha. He allegedly developed friendship with her on Instagram by passing off as a doctor in the Netherlands.
She then gave him her WhatsApp number and they continued chatting. They became friends, and after five days, the accused informed her that he was going to India to meet her.
The next day, the complainant received a call from a Customs Officer from New Delhi Airport, who informed her that one of her relatives who came to India to meet her was carrying 90,000 EUROs, which was against the rule, and he had been detained.
