REPORTER: UCHE NDEKE

A mother of five, Mrs. Roseline Udom, is now in police net in Anambra State for an alleged case of conspiracy, advance fee fraud and stealing, reported to the Command for investigation.

A statement by Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Tochukwu Ikenga, says the 35 year old suspect is a member of a notorious 3 member gang, who specialises in defrauding members of the public.

The statement says while some of her syndicate members are still at large, she confessed that her victims are mainly single young ladies, who work in cooperate offices like banks, civil service and sales girls, deceiving them that her brother, who is based overseas, is looking for a wife.

The suspect also tells her victims that she possesses the spiritual power of cleansing their afflictions and is capable of doubling any amount they give to her.

According the statement, the 35 year old suspect and mother of five, joined the gang early last year and since then has defrauded more than five young ladies of over 9 million naira.

The Command therefore, advises members of the public, especially teeming youths, to avoid “get rich quick syndrome” rather engage in a legitimate business that will, in turn, bring better profits and growth in their lives.

The statement urges them to be cautious about how they allow strangers into their personal lives.

The statement added that suspect will be arraigned in court on conclusion of the investigation.
