POLICE WARN ENUGU RESIDENTS AGAINST WONDER BANK OPERATORS
The Enugu State Police Command has warned
residents against online fraudsters and fraudulent financial outfits.
It said those who engage in such crimes
employ several tactics to swindle various sums of money under the guise of high
interests.
In a statement on Sunday, the command’s
spokesman, Ebere Amarizu, explained that fraudsters operate from rented
apartments and run the outfit with plans to abscond with their victims’ money.
“According
to intelligence information gathered, this group of mischief makers have
deployed several antics through which their victims are swindled of various
sums of money under the guise of investing such money
Amarizu added, “This group of mischief makers
are said to be operating from a rented apartment and hire temporal staff to run
outfits designed to double money paid by their victims and thereafter abscond
with the deposits of their victims to an unknown destination.”
He, therefore, advised residents to be
security conscious and contact the nearest police station if in doubt of any
transaction.
“Report promptly to any nearest police
station where doubt exists or through the following commands distress numbers;
08032003702, 08075390883, 08086671202 and 08098880172 or through our social
media platforms of Twitter: @PoliceNG_Enugu and
Facebook: @nigeriapoliceforceenugustatecommand,” he stated.
According to Amarizu, the Commissioner of
Police in Enugu, Sulaiman Balarabe, has directed operatives of the command to
fish out those in such habit.
He said this was to ensure diligent
investigation and bring them to book.
