The ten suspected have been paraded in Port Harcourt, River State on Thursday, December 20, 2018.
According to Daily Post, the coordinator of the South-South Zonal Office of the EFCC, Mr. Naghe Obono-Itam, the suspects are able to deceive their preys by asking for support after disguising as American soldiers fighting in a conflict zone, Afghanistan. He said:
“These people were talking to their American targets as if they were American Afghanistan fighters in need of support.
“They collect i-tunes from them and dispose them online in foreign currencies, preferably in dollars.”
