Nigerian Woman Pretending To Be From Canadian Embassy Defrauds Indian Man

A Nigerian woman by name Dacosta Modupeoluwa Oriyomi, was arrested on Tuesday in Bangalore, India, for allegedly posing as a Canadian Embassy official and defrauding a job seeker.

The 27-year-old woman who hails from Abeokuta, Ogun State, had linked up with the Indian national in Baguiati and feigned the character of an official of the Canadian Embassy after the victim uploaded his resume on various job portals two years ago.

Oriyomi had masked the IP address from where the emails had been sent using a special software that rerouted it to servers in other countries.

Police said they tracked the bank account numbers to which money had been sent and managed to zero in on her location. A team was then sent to Bangalore and she was arrested.
