Police Nab Fraudster for Using Kidney Patients for Extortion in Abuja

I am pleased to present an update on the progress the Command has made in its effort to effectively police the Federal Capital Territory, reduce crime to its barest minimum and ensure residents enjoy quality service delivery from the Police.

To meet up with its constitutional mandate of protecting lives and property, the Command has been engaged in aggressive intelligence gathering, raid of identified blackspots and criminal hideouts, diligent investigations of cases, foot and motorised patrols, conduct of stop and search operations and community engagement. The aforementioned crime fighting strategy has contributed immensely to the successes being paraded today.

The Command has a lot of cases in court for prosecution.

Ahead of the forthcoming general elections, the Command has made adequate preparation for a hitch-free exercise. In the last couple of weeks, we have been training our personnel on Election Security Management, Electoral Offences and provided them with code of conduct for the election. It is pertinent to state that all police personnel attached to this Command will be deployed for the election. Those on leave have been recalled for the election.

Highlight of some notable achievements of the Command is presented below:-

ARREST OF SUSPECT/RECOVERY OF EXHIBITS
On 14th January, 2019, following a complaint, Police detectives launched a discreet investigation that led to the arrest of one Goodluck Onyewenyi ‘m’ 40 years for fraudulently opening a bank account with the name of a patient suffering from kidney failure and in dire need of financial assistance to undergo kidney transplant. The suspect who happens to be a family friend to the patient took advantage of the relationship to write wealthy individuals, corporate organisations and highly placed government officials for financial assistance. The suspect has used a bank account he opened in the name of the patient to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. Preliminary investigation has revealed that the suspect uses names of patients identified to be suffering from kidney failure to solicit for financial assistance which he converts to his personal use. The following have been recovered from the suspect exhibits: pictures of patients undergoing dialysis, copies of letters for financial assistance, bank documents, etc. Investigation is on-going.

ARREST OF SUSPECT/ RECOVERY OF HUMAN SKULL
On 8th January, 2019 at about 1830hrs acting on tip off, police operatives on patrol around Wuye, Finance Quarters arrested one Valentine Ezeogu ’m’ 42 years in possession of a polythene containing an object discovered to be human skull. The suspect who claims to be a gardener and leaves in an uncompleted building was also arrested with some charms in his possession. Investigation is on-going.
