This was made known in a statement signed by the Force Spokesperson Olumuyiwa Adejobi, shared on the Force X account on Friday.
The statement disclosed that the suspects Njoku Kingsley (35), Chigozie Okorie (34), and Jideofor Sejus (35) were arrested after investigations showed their nvolvement in a range of deceptive practices, with a key strategy, being the joint impersonation of an individual named Anthony James.
Under this false identity, they individually targeted victims, engaging in romance scams to defraud them of their hard-earned resources.
The suspects, in voluntary written statements, admitted their roles in the criminal conspiracy.
The statement added, “Consequently, members of the cyber community as a borderless state are enjoined to exercise great restraint or totally shy away from establishing resource-exchanging relationships on the social media space.
“The suspects will be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation.”
