The four suspected imposters

Four arrested for using IGP’s credentials to dupe police officers
Four persons who created a parody Facebook account
with the credentials of the Inspector General of
Police John Kudalor, and used it to dupe two
police officers have been arrested by the Police
in Accra.

The four - Haruna Danlad (23yrs), Timothy Egwu
(23yrs), Matthew Ushie (24yrs) and Samuel
Iwochukwuaged (23yrs) – created the fake
Facebook account with the intention of defrauding
police personnel desiring to take part in UN and
AU missions.

According to the Director of the Cyber Crime
Unit, Chief Superintendent Herbert Gustav Yankson,
the account was being used to lure police
personnel into paying various sums of money into a
bank account number 0241623119341 to enable them
be part of peacekeeping missions.

He said the account was detected on July 14 by
his Unit which investigated the matter leading to
the arrest of Danlad who also led the Police to
Egwu, Ushie and Iwochukwuaged from theor hideouts
They are said to have admitted in their caution
statement that Egwu and Danlad helped in the
opening of the bank account to aid the crime.

According to the Police fake Facebook account has
attracted 497 friends, mostly police officers,
noting that investigation revealed the account was
used to dupe two officers of GHC300.

The four are expected to be processed for court.


Man hacks email to steal money

In a related development, a 38-year-old sales
agent has put before an Accra Circuit Court for
hacking an email address of a pharmaceutical
company to defraud both the company and a bank.

Gadiel Baah Nyumutei on July 12, using the hacked
e-mail, allegedly caused two banks to transfer
GHC15,000 and 9,800 dollars from the account of
the pharmaceutical company to another account.

When the account holders realised the transfer,
the mounted a protest. While investigation into
the case was going on, the company’s accountant
received an email purporting to come from the
chief executive of the pharmaceutical company
instructing him to deposit GHC18,000 into the
accused person’s account.

But a check by the accountant revealed the chief
executive officer had not instructed any deposit
of money into the accused person’s account.

Investigation led to the arrest of Nyumutei who
pleaded not guilty in court. He has been admitted
to bail in the sum of GHC40,000 with two sureties
one of whom must be a civil servant who earns at
least GHC1,500 a month.
