John Nze Madu was arrested at Diamond Bank,
Ojodu branch, Lagos, where he went to make
withdrawals with an ATM card.
Investigation showed that Madu defrauded Wu
Qingzhu, a Chinese national, of the sum of
$5380 when he allegedly posed as Barrister
Wilson Amarachi and deceived the Chinese
into believing that he had outstanding
payments to collect for contracts executed for
the Nigerian government.
This he achieved by presenting the Chinese
with fake documents from ranking Nigerian
officials. He allegedly used different email
addresses, two documents purportedly from
Daily Sun Newspaper, an official gazette
purportedly signed by the President Goodluck
Jonathan and Senate President, David Mark
and an international passport data page
purportedly belonging to Bar Amarachi.
Madu contacted Qingzhu through an online
message, informing him that he was expected
to open a non-residence account in Nigeria
and make payment of $300. Qingzhu complied
and made two other payments: $1430 and
$3650 through Western Union.
Madu was arrested at the bank premises
where he went to withdraw proceeds of his
fraudulent activities.
He would be charged to court after
investigations are concluded.
