Two Nigerian Nationals Arrested in Gurugram for Alleged Cyber Fraud via Fake ProfilePreviousNext

Gurugram police arrested two Nigerian nationals, Kelvin Ogbu and Kingsley Emeka Ojobo, for allegedly cheating a man of Rs 63,500 through a fake Facebook profile named Kathlin. The accused posed as a foreign woman visiting India and, with a person impersonating a Mumbai airport customs officer, convinced the victim to transfer money for customs verification. Both entered India on business visas, and a mobile phone used in the crime was recovered. A case was registered following the complaint.
