Anambra State Police Command has apprehended two suspected fraudsters, who allegedly specialise in sending fake bank alerts to traders after buying goods from them.

The suspects were arrested by the operatives attached to the Command Monitoring Unit (CMU) following intelligence report.

Police spokesman Haruna Mohammed confirmed this to reporters in Awka on Tuesday. He gave the names of the suspects as Eko Charles, 25, and Rabiu Idris, 24.

Mohammed said: “The suspects specialise in defrauding innocent traders by generating fake bank payment alerts.

“They went to the shop of Godwin Chukwu of 59, Zik Avenue, Awka on July 31 to buy TV sets, fraudulently generated and sent fake SMS alert for the payment of N200,000 to his phone and he released two 43 inch TV sets, oblivious of their trick.
