“A well-coordinated multi-agency raid in Mwaliko Estate within Mwea town has blown the lid off a suspected cyber fraud ring operated by three Nigerian nationals. The suspects Peter Chukwujekwu, Alazor Chukulute Sunday, and Nnalue Chiagozie Samwel were flushed out after alert members of the public raised an alarm over suspicious movements and late-night activities inside a rented apartment. When detectives raided the premises, they found 21 mobile phones, 79 SIM cards, a Dell laptop, and a heap of credit cards from different banks, all pointing to a well-oiled fraud network,” the statement reads.
