Police arrest cyber frauds who scammed Kaduna students of N60m
An online fraud syndicate that defrauded students at Kaduna State University (KASU) of over N60 million has been exposed by police officers in Kaduna.
Three internet scammers who were well-known for tricking gullible KASU students out of their tuition money were apprehended by the authorities.
The suspects, who were primarily cybercafé operators who compromised the students' registration portal and took unfair advantage of students who chose to pay their fees online rather than through traditional banking platforms, were arrested. They were identified as Muhammad Uthman Busari of Nariya Kaduna, AbdulAzeez Hamza of Hayin Dan-mani Kaduna, and Noel Nims Audiya.
Spokesperson of the Police in Kaduna, ASP Mansir Hassan, explained that “the suspects often collect tuition fees from students in full but will pay a lesser amount into the state’s Treasury Single Account (TSA) and go further to intercept and manipulate the electronic transaction receipts from the TSA to read complete payment.â€
