THE OPERATION
Crime Branch, Delhi Police received a complaint from one Ajay Thakran that he has been cheated of lakhs of rupees by some Nigerian nationals. He alleged that, one William came to his office on the pretext of investing a large amount of money in property. He requested the complainant to help him in making investments. After a few days, he gave Ajay an electronic iron safe having black coloured bundles, which he claimed, were “black dollars”. When the complainant enquired about the black colour of the dollars, he was told that the dollars are kept like this for safety purpose in African countries, to protect the money from being looted. The accused also gave one chemical bottle to be used for converting the black dollars into real ones. Then he enacted a drama and deliberately spilled the chemical and applied some of the remaining chemical on some “black dollars”, which removed the black coating and revealed real US dollars. He added that without the chemical, the black dollars are nothing but junk. He asked Ajay to arrange for large sums of money for importing the chemical. He also showed him some documents indicating the process of chemical treatment. The complainant was thus lured into paying him lakhs of rupees for procuring the chemical. William took money repeatedly from the complainant on one pretext or the other thereafter. William also introduced the complainant to his friend Edward, who also started taking money from Ajay on false promises. Later the complainant got suspicious and complained to the Crime Branch of Delhi Police that he had been cheated of over 45 lakh rupees.
The matter was entrusted to Special Team. After verifying the facts, a case was registered vide FIR No.156/08, dated 23.07.08, u/s 420/120-B, IPC at PS. Chankyapuri, New Delhi. A trap was laid and Ndubusi Ahiabuike @ Chukwudi Ogwu @ Edward was arrested near Priya Cinema with a fake passport in the name of Chukwudi Ogwu and a chemical bottle was also recovered from his possession, which he was to deliver to the complainant in return for more money. He confessed to being a part of this gang of cheats and revealed names of his associates. On his instance, another associate namely Godswill has been arrested. Their bank account has been suspended. Further investigation is being carried out.
