The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has reported the arrest of an alleged internet fraudster in Abuja, who was accused of holding a young woman captive for money rituals. The arrest was carried out by operatives from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said in a statement on Thursday night that the police are currently awaiting the NSCDC to hand over the suspect to the command.

Recall that a video clip capturing a young lady confined in a room with her legs tied emerged on social media on Thursday.

She was allegedly confined by her boyfriend at the Top View Hotel, Wuse, Abuja, for a money ritual.

According to the PPRO, “Findings revealed that the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has taken the suspect into custody and are yet to hand over to the police for diligent investigation.

“The FCT Police Command, for all intents and purposes, awaits the NSCDC to hand over all parties for the commencement of diligent and discreet investigation.

“Further developments will be communicated in due course.”
