Nigerian Man Arrested by Indian Police Over N16m Kidney Fraud


Indian-based Nigerian man, David Ujma Uba, 32, has been arrested by Indian Police for allegedly defrauding 20 people of 16 Million Naira, on the grounds that he would organise kidney donations for them.

This news is coming a few weeks after a gang of ten Nigerians were reportedly arrested for alleged fake funds transfer in India.

It was gathered that Uba, who lived in Kolkata, India went to the country four years ago on a tourist visa.

The Indian Police alleged that he created a fake hospital website and issued an advertisement, asking people in need of kidneys to get in touch with him. But, he reportedly did not deliver the kidneys after money had been transferred into his bank account.

The Times of India reports that Uba’s victims decided to register a complaint with Kolkata Cyber Crime Police in April.

Reports say that the culprit, on seeing that the police were after him, relocated to Tamil Nadu and then to Bengaluru. However, he was arrested after the Police traced him through the details of his phone calls.

Many arrests of fraudulent Nigerians by Indian police had been reported in the past. Recall that a few months ago, a Nigerian man identified as Ifeanyi Mike Mbaeze was arrested in the country for alleged debit card fraud.
