According Sahara reporters, The Nigeria Police has
announced the arrest of 35-year old Itumo Anthony Chidebere, who allegedly fled
to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, after defrauding a Nigerian businesswoman of
two million dollars. Nigeria is working to have him extradited.
A statement by police spokesman Frank
Mba said the feat was accomplished by the INTERPOL Unit of the force, headed by
DCP Adeyemi Ogunjemilusi, in conjunction with its counterpart in Abu-Dhabi.
Chidebere, who hails from Ebonyi State, had been on the run for the past 13 months after executing the act, in which he executed his fraudulent deal after he presented himself to the woman in June 2012 as an estate broker in Dubai, claiming he could purchase a house for her.

“Relying
on this assurance, the unsuspecting complainant made a payment of $2,082,139 US
Dollars to the suspect, on the receipt of which the suspect disappeared without
purchasing the said house, but rather chose to be running from one country to
another in a bid to evade arrest,” the statement said.
The Inspector-General of Police, MD Abubakar, reaffirmed the determination of the Force to bring to justice all criminals connected with international crimes, promising to strengthen the bond between the Nigeria Police and their counterparts in other countries in resolving all trans-border crimes.
