Ghanaian Police have arrested a 32-year-old man, Nurudeen Abdul-Ganiyu, for engaging in mobile money fraud in the Upper West Region.
The suspect allegedly duped over 50 people in the last two years to the tune of GHȻ150,000 (N11, 226, 805), in order to complete the construction of his three-bedroom home, reports Adomonline.
Deputy Regional Police Commander, ACP Peter Ndekugri said, “We have been on a manhunt for him since August and finally caught him after someone tipped us that he was in Gurugu in Tamale.”
The suspect confirmed that he had registered numerous SIM cards with different names explaining “all you have to do is mention the supposed ID number of the requested identification card.”
Abdul-Ganiyu admitted, “anytime I am talking to someone I change my voice so already fallen victims do not recognize my voice.”
He revealed that most of the money has gone into the building of his three-bedroom bungalow.
