Two brothers identified as Henry and Emanuel Odep from Cross River State were apprehended and paraded by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for their involvement in cyber fraud activities.
Henry confessed to making N460,000 by impersonating the FCT Commandant, Olusola Odumosu, on Facebook between September and December 2023.
The NSCDC had issued a public alert regarding the fake Facebook account earlier in September 2023.
The investigation revealed their use of various platforms such as Opay, Moniepoint, and Palmpay to receive illicit funds.
Collaborative efforts between NSCDC intelligence units and counterparts from Delta and Anambra State Commands led to their apprehension.
The NSCDC FCT Commandant, Olusola Odumosu, warned cybercriminals of prosecution and emphasized the agency’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of citizens against all forms of criminality.
