Nigerians continue to commit crimes in other countries, this time a young man identified as Ernest Osunobon from the South has just been arrested by the Police in India after he duped a 40 year old woman through a matrimonial website.
A 33-year-old Nigerian national Earnest Usunobun has been
arrested by the Thane Police, in Gurugram, India for duping women on
matrimonial website.
A 40-year-old woman approached the Kasarvadavali police in
April, saying she was cheated of Rs 3.59 lakh. Earnest had assumed the
identity of one Adinath P and approached her on a matrimonial website. A
senior official from Thane police said:
"After two weeks of talking to her, he claimed he was
coming to Mumbai from Canada. He later said he was at Delhi Airport and
needed to exchange $40,000, but he did not have the Indian currency to
pay the tax for the same. He then asked her to send the required amount,
which was Rs 3.59 lakh.
"Once he got the money, he switched off his mobile phone
and did not reply to the woman’s messages. So, she registered a case
with the Kasarwadavli police station and accordingly the cyber cell
started the investigation,” said a senior official from Thane police.
The Thane cyber cell got the login details for Earnest’s
account from the matrimonial site and approached an Internet Service
Provider.
“We got the mobile number and other details and found him
to be in Gurugram. With the help of local police, we reached his
building and waited for him downstairs,” said Sanjay Sawant, senior
police inspector, Thane cyber crime.
“He was arrested on August 9, around 9.30pm.
We also found a Honda Civic, which he bought from the woman’s cash. He
had two forged passports and one original. When we checked his phone, we
found that he was in the process of cheating more women. We contacted
the women and informed them about him. He is in custody now and we are
checking how many women he has cheated in the past. More accused are
expected to be arrested, as there is a complete chain of the people
working in the process,” said Sandeep Bhajibhakre, deputy commissioner
of police, Thane cyber cell.
