Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Monday Agbonika

The Edo State Police Command has arrested a woman, 31, for allegedly scamming business owners using fake bank transfer receipts.

The suspect, identified as Freda Omakhone, was nabbed by the anti-cultism unit of the police. She reportedly targeted luxury boutiques and shops in Benin.

According to the police, Omakhone bought expensive items and sent edited bank transfer receipts to the sellers via WhatsApp as proof of payment.

“She would purchase goods worth hundreds of thousands, then edit bank transfer receipts to reflect false amounts and business names,” the command said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Recovered items include luxury hair, kitchen utensils, designer clothes, electronics, and cosmetics.

“Some of the owners have come forward to claim their goods. The suspect has since confessed to the crime and will soon be charged in court,” the police added.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Monday Agbonika, advised business owners to always verify payments before releasing goods.

He also warned youths against getting involved in crime. “There is no shortcut to success. The long arm of the law will always catch up with criminals,” he said.

Residents were urged to stay alert and report suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
