The police in Lagos on Tuesday said they had arrested a 26-year-old school leaver name withheld for allegedly defrauding a businessman of N5.7 million.
The spokesman for the police command, Frank Mba, told newsmen in Ikeja that the suspect, arrested at the Palm-Groove area of Lagos, intercepted his victim’s business deal.
Upon investigation, the police discovered that the suspect hacked into the victim’s e-mail, changed his password and was communicating with the Chinese company, Mba said.
The police spokesman advised the public not to disclose the details of their bank accounts, automated teller machine cards, e-mail addresses, international passports and driver’s licences.
Mba also urged the citizens to endeavour to be computer literate to avoid falling victims of cyber fraud stars.
