Gurgaon police arrested two Nigerian nationals, Ojo Uyiosa and James, for impersonating company directors on WhatsApp and duping employees out of ₹10 lakh. The suspects used a Bandhan Bank account, which had previous cyber fraud complaints, to receive the stolen funds.
Uyiosa entered India in 2014 on a student visa, while James arrived in 2023 on a tourist visa. They posed as top management officials, gaining employees’ trust before transferring money to their account. Police recovered two mobile phones and three SIM cards from the duo.
The accused have been remanded to three days of police custody, with investigations ongoing. This incident highlights the growing concern of cybercrime and financial fraud, emphasizing the need for vigilance and international cooperation.
