Two well-known individuals have been taken into custody by the Nigeria Police Force on suspicion of participating in a number of financial and cybercrimes, including an N452 million charity fraud scheme and a $210,000 investment scam.

Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, made this announcement in an Abuja statement on Tuesday.

According to Adejobi, the arrests of Ms. Okeke Njaka, a Nigerian, and Robert Harms, a Canadian, in two distinct operations carried out by INTERPOL agents were verified by the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Abuja.

A fraudulent investment plan that targeted Tepison Enterprises, a business located in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, led to Harms’ arrest.

According to the statement, following a petition submitted by the company, police investigations showed that the Canadian was first introduced to the business in June 2023 by a Polaris Bank account officer.

He persuaded Tepison Enterprises to invest $210,000 in a fictitious Waste-to-Energy Project in Canada by promising a $30,000 return in four weeks, the statement claims.

“Under this pretense, Tepison Enterprises transferred $210,000 to secure a fabricated ‘capital project bond,’” the police said.

Ms. Okeke Ogechi Njaka, who is wanted for a number of cybercrimes and fraud-related offenses, including cyberbullying, cyberstalking, obtaining money under false pretenses, cheating, and criminal breach of trust was also successfully re-arrested by INTERPOL NCB Abuja in a separate operation, the statement continued.

According to reports filed by Hajia Maryam Shehu, who was represented by M.I. Tsav & Co. Legal Practitioners & Notaries Public, Abuja, the case against Njaka was allegedly started in September 2020.

According to investigations, Njaka actively engaged in cyberstalking and cyberbullying on a number of social media sites, maliciously disseminating her victims’ nude images and videos.

According to reports, Njaka was listed as wanted in a 2021 Special Police Gazette Bulletin.

She was initially detained in Anambra State on January 4, 2025, but soon absconded after jumping administrative bail.

On May 8, 2025, she was apprehended again in her Abuja hideout as a result of persistent intelligence-led efforts. On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Njaka will appear in the Federal High Court for his arraignment.
