A 45 year old man identified as Usman Garba, has been arrested by the Adamawa State Police Command for allegedly duping a man the sum of N2.5million.
Usman of Ruwan Bobo Mushiyar Mai Kaho, Rogo Local Government Area, Kano State duped a 29 year old Gabriel Ishaku of Boka ward in Michika LGA, Adamawa State.
The suspect offered to print the sum of N30 million fake currency to Gabriel, an indigene of Michika LGA who is based in Akwanga, Nassarawa State.
The accused was first introduced to Gabriel, by one Ibrahim as herbalist/native doctor who assists people with herbs to boost their businesses and protection among others.
Gabriel, who sells bread in Akwanga, assisted them with the sum of N2, 500 and since then became friends and later offered to print fake money, assuring him that demons had agreed to print the money.
After the agreement, Usman, kept asking Gabriel to send money to him so as to buy monkeys, foxes, goats, dogs, cattle among other animals.
He told Gabriel, that the demonds needed such animals, and that he will use them to offer sacrifices to them to enable them print the money based on his demand.
Gabriel, kept sending money to him instrumentally unknown to him that Usman, was using it to feed 2 of his wives and his 8 children in Kano state.
He reported the matter to the police in Michika on the 15th April, 2022, which led to the arrest of the suspect in home town in Kano.
Gabriel, who was interrogated by the Police Police Relations Officer, SP Suleiman, on Wednesday, denied asking the native doctor to print fake money for him.
He told the spokesman that the money he had transfered to Usman amounted to N2.5million, alleging that Usman, later started threatening him when he stopped sending money to him.
On his part, Usman, admitted duping him but said that the money Gabriel sent to him stood at N700, 000 and not N2.5 as he had claimed, and denied having threatened him.
SP Nguroje, said that the Commissioner of Police, SK Akande, had ordered for investigation, after which the suspect will be charged to court for prosecution.
