Two men notorious for defrauding traders by generating
fake bank alerts, have been arrested in Anambra state.
Eko Charles, 25, and Rabiu Idris, were arrested following
inteligence report. They had gone to the shop of one
Godwin Chukwu of No. 59 Zik Avenue, Awka on July
31st to buy television sets.
They fraudulently generated and sent fake SMS alert for
the payment of N200,000 to his phone and he released
two 43 inch Television sets oblivious of their fraudulent
act. The criminals went to the same shop the next day,
did the same thing and collected 4 Television sets and
other accessories all valued at N230,000. .
Trouble however started when Chukwu went to the
bank to withdraw the money but was told by the bank
that no payment was made into his account. As fate
would have it, the duo had placed an order for 95 inch
TV, a deep freezer, Sumec fireman generator with a
promise to send an alert.
.
They were arrested by police detectives who laid siege
within and around the shop premises and arrested the
main suspect, one Eko Charles who came to collect the
items.
The police spokesperson say the four 32 inches
Television sets earlier collected under false pretense
from Chukwu were recovered from Rabiu Idris.
