The Thalaghattapura police, India on Wednesday, April 12, arrested a 41-year-old Nigerian national, Andrew a.k.a. Eric Peters and his 52-year-old Indian girlfriend on the charge of duping a woman of Rs 50 lakh, with a fake business proposal through a website.

The police who took up the cases, approached the accused as a prospective client offering them huge sums of money and, trapped them. The two were arrested when they came to collect the money.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) S D Sharanappa said Andrew had come to India on a business visa and landed in Delhi. He has been in India for a long time now and his passport and visa documents are being scrutinized as to how he arrived here.

Andrew befriended Babli Parveen Hashmi (52) from Mumbai and the two started committing online frauds luring people, offering export business propositions for herbal medicines. They lured Vijaya, a Bengaluru-based entrepreneur, offering her dealership for herbal medicines to cure snakebite and chronic diseases. The accused also offered to help her business in Western countries which could fetch her profits in billions.

Vijaya transferred Rs 50 lakh into their account online and soon she realised that she had fallen into their trap and had been duped. The duo subsequently went incommunicado. Based on Vijaya’s complaint, a team of police contacted the accused and offered to buy herbal medicines. They asked them to come and collect the cash as they could not transfer such a huge sum due to demonetisation.

The duo were nabbed by the police as soon as they landed in the city. Inquiries revealed that the duo had several bank accounts and had duped more than 100 people in several states and collected at least Rs 8 crore from them in a span of four years.

The police have recovered Rs 21 lakh from one of the bank accounts and will return it to Vijaya after obtaining permission from the court, a senior police officer said. Since the fraud has been committed across the country, the city police are considering handing over the case to the CID, City Police Commissioner Praveen Sood said.

I know say na dem.

He probably went there as a development ambassador. Here is a snippet from my interview with Mr Akhshtar Dee Velopa.

Ipob secretary, Mumbai branch. Enjoy!

See d face

Name checked


Na them flatheadz, awon ni

I know this man Eric Peters, he is from Ihiala Local Government of Anambra State. We Igbos should stop bringing shame, disgrace, ridicle, contempt and resentment to our tribe with our criminal tendencies.


I was in India last year september. My itinerary in that country took me through Mumbai, Goa, Punjab and New Delhi. As an Igbo man, I must confess that all the Igbo men I met, I mean virtually all the Igbo men in India are involved in one criminal activity or the other. The few Yoruba's I saw were either in the University or working in big corporations

LionDeLeo:
I know say na dem.

Who?

I've been meaning to do this for some time. As dem take dey pollute crime thread about other tribes.


Ladies and Gentlemen it's your one and only Fla..fla..fla...fla...Igbo. Andrew from the land of the rising sun and illustrious developers of the world.

ANDREW aka Eric Peters was diligently trying to develop faraway India.

In other news, fellow Nairaland flatt!s have all solidarised in blaming this on Afonjas just like they do on every woe befalling them in this country.

Where the woman picture

Andrew Omo yigbo whhhhyyyyhhhh?? ?? ??

Eric Peter from where in Nigeria?

Afonjas at it again

What a shame for the youth

They have become so unproductive that what they bother themselves with is if one criminal is from this tribe or that tribe. They have adjusted to the hardship they are facing, and they probably believe it is a normal thing to be in experiencing the sufferness

Igbo at it again!!!, they swear for una, see him face like morning poo

Okwa ndi Yoruba.....

Igbo and fraud eehn

the hustle is real

Confirm. And The Peoples Republic never disappoint.
