A man who posed as a medical doctor was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force in Nasarawa State for alleged criminal conspiracy, organ trafficking, fraud, cybercrime, stealing, impersonation, and identity theft.
The suspect, identified as Igwe Okechukwu, was apprehended after a POS operator in Owerri, Imo State, reported that he had defrauded her of N21 million.
According to the Force Public Relations Officer, the suspect had tricked the POS operator into entering a code on her POS machine, which led to the withdrawal of all the money in her account.
The suspect, who had been operating under the aliases Igwe Richard and Ovie Henry, was found to have multiple phone numbers and email addresses that he used to perpetrate his heinous acts.
Further investigations revealed that the suspect was also involved in organ trafficking and had a contact in Toronto, Canada, with whom he engaged in the trade of human organs.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has reiterated the commitment of the force to combating crimes and ensuring the safety and security of the community.
