The Odisha police have arrested another Nigerian resident and his wife from New Delhi for allegedly duping Rs 30 lakh from a Balasore man through honey-trapping, said an official.<\/p>\n
The accused identified as Emmanuel Nnamani and his wife T. Suchim Tikhir. Nnamani is a Nigeria resident while his wife belongs to Nagaland, said Amresh Kumar Panigrahi, additional SP, Balasore.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Samson Emeke Alika was arrested on this case registered at cyber and economic offence police station, Balasore.<\/p>\n
A man had lodged a complaint before the cyber police in April alleging that one day a lady came in contact with him through Facebook by introducing himself as a young woman from London.<\/p>\n
Later, they exchanged texts through WhatsApp. Then the lady told the victim that she had sent costly gift items including gold biscuits, a Rolex watch and an iPhone for him.<\/p>\n
Later, the lady Suchim Tikhir, claiming himself as a customs officer from New Delhi, called the victim and asked him to give him custom charges to receive the gifts sent by his friend from London, said Panigrahi.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, the victim kept on spending lakhs of rupees to receive the gifts. He has transferred around Rs 30 lakh but did not get the gifts.<\/p>\n
The police said they have seized two laptops, one Hyundai i20 car, one Dangal, two invalid passports, one SBI passbook, two gold chains and seven mobile phones from their possession.<\/p>\n
The three persons worked as a team to cheat the victim from Balasore district. Further investigating into the case is on to nab other people involved in the case, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
