Nigerian man arrested in India for defrauding woman of N18 million with fake promise of Canadian work visa

A Nigerian man residing in Bengaluru, identified as Moses, has been arrested by the Indian Police for swindling N18 million from a woman under the false pretense of facilitating a work visa to Canada. The arrest was made on Christmas Eve, following an investigation led by Inspector Shaju Joseph. Moses, a DJ who has been living in Bengaluru since 2014, allegedly exploited personal information provided by the victim on a private website. The woman, in her pursuit of a medical coding job last October, unwittingly shared her details, which Moses then used to orchestrate the fraudulent scheme.

The accused, posing as a visa agent, initiated contact with the victim through emails and WhatsApp, presenting fabricated proof of her details on an immigration site and a purported flight ticket to Canada. Winning her trust, he successfully convinced her to transfer Rs 17 lakhs, equivalent to 18 million in Nigerian naira, to his account. As Moses persistently demanded more money, the woman grew suspicious and eventually filed a complaint at the Wayanad Cyber Police Station. Law enforcement authorities were able to recover Rs 6 lakhs from the accused. The arrest was facilitated by tracing Moses through his device’s IP address and monitoring his online transactions. This is not an isolated incident for Moses, as investigators have uncovered his involvement in several online frauds over the years. Despite being known as a DJ, he reportedly conducted only one DJ event per month, dedicating the remainder of his time to fraudulent activities. During the arrest, law enforcement officials seized multiple electronic devices from Moses, which are believed to have been instrumental in his illicit activities. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging individuals who may have fallen victim to Moses’ scams to come forward.

The arrests followed a careful operation by law enforcement authorities, who seized a total of 65 grams of Mephedrone (MD), a potent synthetic drug, along with a substantial amount of cash, totaling Rs 65,000.

Additionally, a digital weighing machine was confiscated from the accused, suggesting their involvement in drug distribution. The estimated value of the seized narcotics is approximately Rs 6 lakh, according to the police. This significant quantity of Mephedrone, also known as MD or “Meow Meow,” is known for its stimulant and psychoactive properties and is considered a controlled substance in many countries, including India. Pushkar police station in-charge, Rakesh Yadav, confirmed that a case has been registered against both Adaeze Jaye and Success Chamika under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The investigation into their alleged drug trafficking activities has already begun. See below;

Women in India stripped and assaulted by violent mob

A video has emerged on social media showing two women from the Kuki tribe in Manipur, India, being subjected to a naked parade and unspeakable acts at the hands of a mob.

According to reports, the Kuki women, along with their family and others, attempted to flee the violence by taking a dirt lane when they were cornered by the mob. In the harrowing video, the mob can be seen assaulting the women and demanding that they strip naked. One of the women, who is in her forties, recounted the horrifying ordeal, stating that when they resisted, they were threatened with death if they did not comply.

During the assault, the men subjected the women to physical abuse, including slapping and punching, as they lay defenseless in the paddy fields. The situation took an even darker turn when one of the men suggested raping one of the women, but thankfully, the assault did not escalate to that extent. However, they did not escape further violation, as the men brutally grabbed their breasts. In the wake of this appalling incident, a police complaint was filed by the relatives of the victims. The complaint alleged that one of the women was subsequently gang-raped. Based on this complaint, the police have registered a zero FIR at the Saikul police station in Kangpokpi district on May 18. The complaint has led to charges being pressed against “unknown miscreants” numbering between 800 to 1,000, who are accused of carrying sophisticated weapons like AK Rifles, SLR, INSAS, and .303 Rifles. The complaint further claims that the mob also went on to burn and vandalize houses in the village.
