A Nigerian man was arrested by the Malaysian police in Kuala Lumpur and extradited to Singapore on April 11 for a spate of Internet love scams.
The 32-year-old is believed to be involved in a series of love scam cases which were reported to the police last year.
He allegedly befriended female victims through online dating and social networking sites, and developed a ‘love’ relationship with them.
He would promise to visit Singapore and on the day of arrival, he would contact the victims and inform them that he had been detained at the checkpoint. He would then ask the victims to remit money to specified bank accounts to secure his release.
The suspect will be charged in court today and a court order will be sought to remand him for further investigations, said DAC Sam Tee, Commander Airport Police Division, who expressed his gratitude to the Malaysian police “for the excellent cooperation and assistance rendered to the Singapore Police in effecting the arrest”.
