Nigerian Police Arrest US Soldier Who Specializes In Defrauding Women

A U.S. soldier, Mr Garrick Michael has been arrested by the Federal Special Anti Robbery Squad (F-SARS), of the Police Command in Imo over alleged advance fee fraud.

This was disclosed by the Commissioner of police, Mr Dasuki Galadanchi, today in Owerri while presenting to Journalists the suspect, Michael, and other suspects involved in different crimes ranging from armed robbery, kidnapping and child trafficking.

Galadanchi said Michael is an American citizen who defrauded women of huge amount of money under the pretext of securing American visa for them.

He named victims of the suspect as Sylva Chineyenwa, Wuchi Peace and Duny Glory.

Michael told newsmen that he returned to Nigeria to visit his wife who resided in the country before he met his three alleged victims.

He said his business deal with the women was still valid before his arrest.

The commissioner also said that a kidnapper who had been on the police blacklist, one Reginald Durunzenwata, was arrested on Aug. 4 and would soon be charged to court.

He said the suspect was allegedly involved in the kidnap and murder of a businessman, Chidi Eburuaji, in Imo, who was kidnapped and murdered in July.

Galadanchi said apart from kidnapping, the suspect also specialised in diverting petrol tankers.
