  Two Nigerians Arrested in India Over Online Impersonation Scam 


Police in Gurugram, Haryana State, India, have arrested two Nigerian nationals for allegedly running an online impersonation scam that defrauded company employees of nearly ₹10 lakh (about $11,000 / ₦15 million).

The suspects, Ojo Uyiosa and James, were arrested on January 31 in the Nathupur village area following a technical investigation by the Cyber Crime East Police Station, according to reports by NDTV.


Investigations revealed that the duo allegedly posed as company directors and contacted employees via WhatsApp, tricking them into transferring money under false pretences. The funds were reportedly diverted into a bank account controlled by the suspects.

Police said they recovered two mobile phones and three SIM cards believed to have been used in carrying out the fraud. Further checks showed that Uyiosa entered India on a student visa in 2014, while James arrived on a tourist visa in 2023.


Authorities disclosed that at least two previous cybercrime complaints have already been linked to the same bank account. During interrogation, Uyiosa reportedly admitted that the suspects defrauded victims of nearly ₹10 lakh, with the money paid into a Bandhan Bank account.


The suspects were arraigned before a Gurugram court on Monday, February 2, 2026, and were remanded in police custody for three days to enable further investigation.

Police say efforts are ongoing to determine whether the suspects are connected to additional cyber fraud cases.
