The Nigeria Police Force, through its INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) in Abuja, has successfully returned $23,000 recovered from an international online romance fraud to the victim in the Cayman Islands.
According to a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the repatriation followed a formal request from the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, which sought the assistance of INTERPOL NCB Abuja in investigating a Nigerian suspect, Achufusi Obioma Ikenna, accused of defrauding a Cayman Islands resident via an online romance scam.
Upon receiving the request, INTERPOL NCB Abuja carried out discreet, intelligence-driven investigations that led to the arrest of the suspect and the recovery of the $23,000. After the conclusion of all required documentation and in coordination with international partners, the recovered funds were officially handed over to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service through the British High Commission in Abuja. The handover was represented by Mr. Shaun McLeary, ensuring the secure return of the funds to the victim.
