A 28 year old man, Emu-Larry Chidebere, has been apprehended by the operatives of Rapid Response Squad, (RRS) of Lagos State Police Command, for being allegedly involved in United Arab Emirate’s visa racketeering in Ajah area of Lagos State.

The suspect, who hailed from Ika North Local Government Area in Delta State, swindled one Abraham Jude and four other persons of N2, 000.000 under the false pretence of helping them to procure a Dubai Visa.

According to Abraham, one of the victims, “when I was laid off where I was working in Abuja. I had intention of moving out of the country to start a new life.

Abraham noted that, the suspect, after receiving the money developed hostile attitude towards him, and eventually stopped picking his calls whenever he put calls across to him.

In his confessional statement, he said “I can’t deny the fact that I collected the N400, 000.00 from him. I tried to secure the visa for him but all my efforts to do so were in vain. And I started to spend the money gradually till I finished it all”.

RRS investigators revealed that Emu – Larry has under the guise of helping four other victims from obtaining Dubai visa collected a total of N1.6 million from them, and that some of them only came forward when they learnt that he has been arrested.

While confirming the arrest, the Police Public Relations Officer of Lagos State, Superintendent of Police, Dolapo Badmus, said Police would not rest on its oars in protecting rights of any individual in the country.

The suspect has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further investigation.
