The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kano has arrested a 28-year-old man, Salisu Abdu Adam, for allegedly using charms to defraud a married woman of N1.8 million.
The Command’s spokesperson, Ibrahim Abdullahi who confirmed the arrest in a statement added that the young man is now in custody.
According to the NSCDC, Adam, who is from Garko Local Government Area but lives in Kawo, Nassarawa LGA of Kano State, deceived the woman with promises of better education and a profitable business.
He allegedly used charms to gain her trust before taking the money from her without an argument or a fight.
Abdullahi said investigations have been completed and the suspect will soon be taken to court.
This case is the latest in a series of fraud-related arrests made by the Corps, as it begins to appear more.
The Corps had earlier this year arrested another suspect accused of collecting money from unsuspecting citizens by pretending to offer them jobs in government ministries.
