Henry Ogu, a 29-year-old man based in Kaduna has been arrested by the Police Special Fraud Unit, SFU, for allegedly operating an internet fraud syndicate that specializes in defrauding unsuspecting wealthy foreign women who are in dire need of husbands.

According to Premium Times

Henry Ogu, and his accomplice, Yunusa Okonkwo, 42, were arrested after defrauding a New Jersey lady of US$350,000 (about N56 million) via an internet dating site.

In a statement on Wednesday, the SFU said that it received an e-mailed petition from a U.S. citizen, whom it did not name, sometime in April 2013. The petitioner alleged that she met Mr. Ogu on a dating site.

According to the petition, the couple started a relationship which lasted for months until the Mr. Ogu allegedly manipulated and made the lady to believe that he was in trouble in Nigeria and needed some financial assistance.

"She further stated that she sent the sum of $350,000.00 US Dollar to the two account numbers provided by the suspect," the police said in the statement signed by Ngozi Isintume-Agu, Police Public Relations Officer, SFU.

"The account numbers belonged to Faneece Business Services International, owned by Mr. Okonkwo of No. A1 Giwa Road, U/Muazu Kaduna where he was subsequently arrested. His arrest led to the arrest of the principal suspect, Henry Chinedu Ogu."

Mr. Okonkwo, a native of Amuri Nkanu West local council of Enugu State, is a patent medicine dealer who runs a Bureau De Change.

He confessed that he is the account holder of Faneece Business Services International, according to the police, and admitted that he provided his two bank accounts for the transactions.

"He also stated that the 2nd suspect, Henry, provided him with his account number where he transferred the money after converting it to Naira. The account detail is … with account name Raydeus Synergy Nigeria Limited. He also added that he always deduct his commission of N2.00 per Dollar before paying in the money," said the police.
"Henry Chinedu Ogu, from Amafor – Ishingwa Umuahia, Abia State, claimed to be one of the Directors of a company called Raydeus Synergy Nigeria Limited. He confessed to the alleged crime that he sent the account details of the 1st suspect to the victim who in turn paid the sum of $295,000.00 Dollars into the account which the 1st suspect Yunusa converted to Naira before paying into his Diamond Bank.

"He corroborated the Complainant's statement that they met on a dating site last year January 2013 and started communicating and exchanging e-mails.

"He also confessed that he deceived the victim into believing that he wanted to marry her but was stranded in Nigeria and needed financial assistance. He further admitted that he had spent all the money, that he used N9million to purchase a heavy duty generating plant which the Police had recovered.

"Also he purchased a plot of land for N800,000.00 along Lagos – Ibadan Expressway. The cash sum of N2million was also recovered from him."

The police said that investigation has continued and the suspect would be charged to court soon.

"The Commissioner of Police, SFU, CP Umar Farouk Idris uses this medium to reassure the public of the Unit's commitment to fight internet fraudsters and advises that such cases should be promptly reported through the Unit e-mail addresses: specialfraudunitlagos@yahoo.com sfulagos@yahoo.com info@specialfraudunit.org.ng," the police added.

#BringBackOurGirls Abducted Girls Reportedly Married Off For N2000 Each As Rally Holds in Abuja

Posted: 30 Apr 2014 12:04 PM PDT

@blcompere ready for the Abuja protest

Over 200 female students aged between 16 and 18 were abducted by Boko Haram over two weeks ago, and except for the handful that escaped, most of the girls are still captive. Today, there was a protest rally in Abuja to raise awareness about the missing girls that started at 3pm and will go on till 8pm at the Unity Fountain.

Our prayer is that it's not too late for the girls as reports have that they've been split, transported in military trucks, and married off in mass weddings to Boko Haram members and other men in neighbouring Chad and Cameroon.

According to Guardian,

Reports of the mass marriage came from a group that meets at dawn each day not far from the charred remains of the school. The ragtag gathering of fathers, uncles, cousins and nephews pool money for fuel before venturing unarmed into the thick forest, or into border towns that the militants have terrorised for months.

On Sunday, the searchers were told that the students had been divided into at least three groups, according to farmers and villagers who had seen truckloads of girls moving around the area. One farmer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the insurgents had paid leaders dowries and fired celebratory gunshots for several minutes after conducting mass wedding ceremonies on Saturday and Sunday.

"It's unbearable. Our wives have grown bitter and cry all day. The abduction of our children and the news of them being married off is like hearing of the return of the slave trade," said Yakubu Ubalala, whose 17- and 18-year-old daughters Kulu and Maimuna are among the disappeared.

The parents are planning a mass rally on Saturday to lobby the government for official updates rather than having to rely on reports from local people.

Seriously praying for these girls. Please if you're in Abuja, do join up with the rally as you close from work. Thank you.
