The Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Center (NPF-NCCC) has arrested a mother and her daughter in connection with a romance scam that allegedly defrauded a victim of ₦18 million. The investigation was initiated following intelligence received from the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), which led to the discovery of multiple bank accounts opened by the suspects for fraudulent purposes. Emmanuel Amanfo, the alleged mastermind who remains at large, reportedly conspired with his stepdaughter, Rokibat Oluwasheyi Imoru, to facilitate the scam, which involved transferring funds through various channels into accounts owned by Imoru and her mother, Urowhe Diana. The NPF-NCCC is continuing its investigation and plans to charge the suspects in court once the inquiry is complete, while also encouraging the public to report any suspicious cyber activities.
