The Zone 16 Police Command has apprehended and paraded three suspects accused of engaging in fraudulent activities and drug offenses.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Gunn Emonena, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
According to the statement, the Zonal Financial and Cyber Crime Unit acted on credible intelligence, raiding the Rumukparali community in Obio/Akpo Local Government Area of Rivers State to arrest the suspects.
The three individuals, identified as Billion Ndubuisi, Charles Amachree, and Martins Chinemike, reportedly confessed to impersonating a U.S.-based legal professional, Ryam Bill, and defrauding two victims, St. Andrea and Charlen Zielinsky, of $71,500.
During a search of their premises, the police recovered suspected illicit drugs, two vehicles, two laptops, and 10 mobile phones.
SP Emonena further revealed that the suspects attempted to bribe officers with $17,000, but the offer was rejected. “The money has been documented and will be presented as evidence in court,” he added.
The Assistant Inspector General of Police for Zone 16, Adebola Hamzat, reiterated his commitment to safeguarding lives and property within his jurisdiction.
Emonena emphasized that the Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, remains dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens.
