Two guys have been detained by the Nigeria Police Force’s National Cybercrime Centre in connection with an Abuja romance scam.
Jerry Okoye and Ifeanyi Nwosu were charged with identity theft and criminal conspiracy.
ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force’s public relations officer, disclosed this on Thursday and claimed that the suspects’ electronic devices included evidence of the criminal activity.
Adejobi said in the statement that the NPF will not waver in its “commitment to ensuring the safety and security of our citizens by relentlessly cracking down on criminal activities such as identity theft, romance scams, sextortion and other cyber-related crimes.”
