The suspects were arrested for their involvement in cases of romance and online dating scams, generating and deployment of fake bank alerts, hacking and fraudulent wire transfers, cyber stalking and impersonation of high-profile personalities in Nigeria and across the world.
Exhibits recovered from them were 11 Laptop Computers, 37 Mobile Phones, 11 SIM cards of different telecoms networks, 5 International passports and 12 ATM cards.
Other recovered items Fake US Dollar notes and quantities of dry leaves suspected to be Marijuana
Three of the suspects are brothers Emmanuel Ushie, 23 years old; Henry Ushie, 30 years old and a graduate of Statistics from Anambra State University and Matthew Ushie, 28 years old.
The latter was an OND graduate from Federal Polytechnic Oko.
The brothers were arrested for running a fake Frank Mba Foundation bank account with FCMB.
The trio used a fake Facebook account and then fraudulently operated the bank account to defraud innocent Nigerians of their hard earned monies under the pretext that the Foundation is raising money to help vulnerable Nigerians during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Investigations by the police operatives attached to the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) revealed that the brothers engaged extensively and serially in such frauds and other related cyber crimes.
During a manhunt of the fraudsters, Henry Ushie, senior brother to Emmanuel Ushie, was identified as the gang leader of the syndicate behind the scam.
He went underground as his younger siblings were arrested.
Following weeks of intense follow-up and meticulous investigations, the kingpin – Henry Ushie was arrested on 11 June at a hideout in Ihiala, Anambra State.
His arrest eventually led to the arrest of his younger brother Mathew Ushie, who is also an active member of the syndicate.
Further investigation revealed that Mathew Ushie was arrested in Ghana last year in a well-publicised bust of fraudsters.
In Ghana, Mathew and other international fraudsters used the name of the Inspector General of Police of Ghana, John Kudalor to defraud unsuspecting Ghanaian policemen in the guise of providing opportunity for them to attend United Nations peacekeeping mission using a fake Facebook account.
Information about his arrest and his parade before the press in Ghana is available on the internet.
Similarly, Henry Ushie had also been arrested in 2017 by the IRT for impersonating then ACP ABBA Kyari, the Commander IRT on Facebook and defrauding many innocent Nigerians before he was arrested and subsequently charged to Court for impersonation. He eventually got bail from the court and went back to same crime.
All the suspects will be charged to court at the conclusion of investigations.
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Abubakar Adamu once again uses this medium to assure Nigerians of the continued resolve of the Force to rid the country of all forms of crimes and criminality including cybercrimes. He also urges citizens to redirect their energy to the positive utilization of the cyberspace, cyber resources and the social media, and shun their related negative influences.
