Fake Nigerian Doctor Nabbed In India With 16 Debit Cards, 20 SIM Cards

The Indian Police has arrested a 35-year old Nigerian man, Patrick Chizorom Orajaka, for alleged Cyber fraud.

Orajaka was nabbed by a police team from an apartment in Dwarka area of New Delhi and brought on transit remand to Odisha on December 15, 2022.

The Indian police operatives said that Orajaka was arrested after a complaint was lodged by a woman from Cuttack, Odisha. 

In the police statement, the suspect had allegedly developed friendship with the Cuttack woman on Instagram by passing off as a doctor in the Netherlands.

It was in that process she gave him her WhatsApp number and they continued chatting. They became friends, and after five days, Orajaka informed her that he was going to India to meet her.

The lady the next day received a call from a Customs Officer from New Delhi Airport, who informed her that one of her relatives who came to India to meet her was carrying 90,000 EUROs, which was against the rule, and he had been detained.
