Delhi Police has arrested a Nigerian national in a cyber fraud case.
Accused Godwin Udarji Onurah was arrested from Mahavir Enclave in South West Delhi on Monday.
A resident of Malviya Nagar approached the police saying that he received an e-mail from a female friend, who asked for money citing an emergency.
According to the complainant, he transferred Rs 28,500 to the bank account mentioned in the e-mail, only to find out later that he and his friend had been duped.
The woman told the police that a man posing as a foreigner befriended her on social media. After gaining her trust, he asked for her bank details and her ATM card, saying she was in dire need of money.
After analyzing the woman’s phone calls and chats, the police zeroed in on Onurah, the DCP said.
Now, Onurah has admitted to the police that he befriended around eight to 10 Indian women using the same method.
