Police arrest suspected serial facebook scammer

The suspect, Ajani

The State Investigation and Intelligence Bureau (SIIB) of the Lagos State Police Command has arrested a serial Facebook scammer, one Peter Ajani, for using the name of former Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ngozi Braide, a Superintendent of Police, to defraud people.
It would be recalled that similar cases happened in 2013, when Braide was the command’s image-maker, where about seven fake Facebook accounts were opened in her name and used to defraud innocent citizens.
Already, a check as at last Friday revealed that 22 fake Facebook accounts had been opened with her name and with different introductions. The fraudulent accounts have since been yielding money for the perpetrators, who demand monetary gifts from their unsuspecting victims.
