No doubt, the Internet has been of great advantage since its
emergence, but Oleshade Akugbade and Olayinka Alake have an entirely
different story as they have experienced the ugly side of the web.
According to Vanguard, Oleshade Akugbade and Olayinka Alake, who are
residents of Ibadan in Oyo State, were invited to Asaba, Delta state, on
June 28 at about 9.35am by their friends, Daniel Fredrick, Nze Emeka
and Kingsley Nwalibut, whom they met on Facebook.
The victims, on their arrival were robbed off their personal effects,
including bags containing their clothes, by their friends, whom they
were reportedly intended to see in the state. Although the Delta State
Police Command have arrested three persons in Asaba for allegedly
robbing two persons they lured from Oyo State to Asaba, the Delta State
Police Public Relations Officer, PRO, Celestina Kalu, confirmed the
development, saying that all the stolen properties have been recovered
and the three men, who lured them to Asaba, have been arrested. The PRO
added that the suspects would be punished accordingly.
In a parallel development, the Delta state Police command’s PRO made
it known to the general public that a reporter’s mail has been hacked by
fraudsters. The reporter who is the Sapele Correspondent of Vanguard
newspaper, Mr Godwin Oghre, has however warned the public to ignore any
mail gotten from godwinoghre@mail.com, saying the fraudsters are using
it to ask for favour and also to get personal information from
unsuspecting people.
Oghre however warned the general public to take note of the new
development. It would be recalled that three kidnappers were killed and
three others arrested in gun battle in Delta recently.
