Nigerian Police Arrests Notorious Scammer, Fred Ajudua

The Nigeria Police Force has arrested and detained a suspected serial fraudster, Fred Ajudua, in Abuja, for alleged land fraud and forgery.

According to police sources, Ajudua has been in detention for three days.

He is known for his involvement in advance fee fraud, also known as “419,” and has allegedly scammed several individuals in his home state of Delta.

In 2022, SaharaReporters exposed Ajudua’s connections with police authorities and top magistrates, revealing leaked phone calls where he confessed to possessing an arsenal of weapons, including over 30 AK-47 rifles, and using gunmen for various purposes, including self-defense and assassination.

He also admitted to bribing a Delta State Commissioner of Police with N3 million to release a seized AK-47 rifle.

Ajudua has a history of fraud cases dating back to 2003, involving millions of euros and dollars in advance fee fraud. He has been accused of defrauding individuals from various countries, including Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands.

The recent arrest and detention of Ajudua are part of ongoing investigations into his criminal activities. The police are working to uncover the extent of his fraudulent schemes and his connections with corrupt officials.
