“A well-coordinated multi-agency raid in Mwaliko Estate within Mwea town has blown the lid off a suspected cyber fraud ring operated by three Nigerian nationals.
The suspects Peter Chukwujekwu, Alazor Chukulute Sunday, and Nnalue Chiagozie Samwel were flushed out after alert members of the public raised an alarm over suspicious movements and late-night activities inside a rented apartment.
When detectives raided the premises, they found 21 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, a Dell laptop, and a heap of credit cards from different banks, all pointing to a well-oiled fraud network.
Investigations have since revealed that the trio, who claim to be “running an online business,” are in the country illegally, their entry passes long expired, with no valid work permits.
The three are currently cooling their heels in custody as investigators dig deeper into their network, tracing possible links to cross-border cybercrime syndicates.” said DCI
