Nigerian Herbalist Dupes Foreigner Of N30m ........

Reports claim that anti-graft agency EFCC has arrested a Nigerian Islamic scholar and full time herbalist, Jamiu Isiaka, for allegedly defrauding a South Korean national of N30 million.

The victim, Keun Sig Kim, paid the huge sum to Isiaka with the aim of purchasing an NNPC license and ultimately, a company in Nigeria.

Thirty-one year-old Jamiu who allegedly impersonated the GMD of NNPC; Maikanti Buri and SA to president on media and publicity; Femi Adesina got money under false pretense from the victim with a promise to grant him a license that will enable him purchase a company.

The victim was reported to have stated that he paid N30 million into the personal account of Isiaka as the fee for the license.

However, Jamiu, subtly denied the allegations and claimed that the payment was made for the purchase of elephant’s skin and intestine, gorilla’s liver, lion’s skull, vulture, all of which he used to prepare a charm for the foreigner to secure his license.

Jamiu who was arrested in Ilorin is to be arraigned in court as the officers search for his accomplices who are reportedly still at large.

Meanwhile, a young lady identified as @_peesee on Twitter took to the microblogging site to share her experience with a fraudster. She explained that a young man claiming to work with her bank called her and when she asked what bank, he said First Bank. Knowing that she does not have an account with the said bank, she played along.
