The Nigeria Police Force INTERPOL National Central Bureau has apprehended two suspects - Canadian national Robert Harms and Nigerian Ogechi Njaka - in separate high-profile fraud cases. According to police spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi, Harms allegedly defrauded Akwa Ibom-based Tepison Enterprises of $210,000 through a fictitious Canadian Waste-to-Energy project.
Investigations revealed Harms fabricated documents and transferred funds to Dubai after being introduced by a Polaris Bank officer in June 2023. The CEO of VDQ-NRG Systems Limited, the company Harms claimed to represent, denied any association with him. Harms was arrested at Abuja airport on February 7, 2025, while attempting to flee to Canada and has been remanded in Uyo prison pending trial.
In a separate case, INTERPOL re-arrested Njaka, who had jumped bail after being declared wanted in 2021 for cybercrime offenses including distributing explicit content and allegedly scamming N452 million through her NGO, Ogechi Helping Hands Foundation.
