Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kano has arrested a 28-year-old man, Salisu Abdu Adam, for allegedly using charms to defraud a married woman of N1.8 million.<\/p>\n

The Command\u2019s spokesperson, Ibrahim Abdullahi who confirmed the arrest in a statement added that the young man is now in custody.<\/p>\n

According to the NSCDC, Adam, who is from Garko Local Government Area but lives in Kawo, Nassarawa LGA of Kano State, deceived the woman with promises of better education and a profitable business.<\/p>\n

He allegedly used charms to gain her trust before taking the money from her without an argument or a fight.<\/p>\n

Abdullahi said investigations have been completed and the suspect will soon be taken to court.<\/p>\n

This case is the latest in a series of fraud-related arrests made by the Corps, as it begins to appear more.<\/p>\n

The Corps had earlier this year arrested another suspect accused of collecting money from unsuspecting citizens by pretending to offer them jobs in government ministries<\/p>\n
