 In a swift response, Enugu State Police Operatives stationed at the Ogui Police Division have thwarted an attempt by Nnamani Joseph, 45, to defraud a local businessman of eighteen bags of rice valued at N400,000.

DSP Daniel Ndukwe, the Police Public Relations Officer, Enugu State Command, made this known in a press release issued on Sunday and obtained by Rivers Mirror 


Accompanying Nnamani to the bank for payment, the businessman fell victim as Nnamani absconded after secretly transferring the rice back to the church.


Acting on the report, Police Operatives launched an intelligence-driven investigation, resulting in Nnamani’s arrest on 20 February, 2024, in Emene, Enugu.


Eight bags of rice were recovered from him, while the remainder had been resold at Oye Emene Market.


Nnamani and his accomplices await trial pending the conclusion of investigations.


The public, especially businesspersons, are urged to remain vigilant to avoid falling prey to such fraudulent schemes. Victims of similar scams involving Nnamani are encouraged to come forward with information to aid ongoing investigations.
