He stated that, “The Anambra State police operatives on 18/8/2022 arrested four suspects at Ajakpani village, Umuanya in Oyi LGA for alleged conspiracy, demanding with menaces and stealing.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects used the social media to lure their unsuspecting male victims into fake love/friendship affairs.

“They, thereafter, take the victim to a room, where Obianuju Nduba engages the victim in a foreplay. The other members of the gang then force themselves into the room, take nude pictures/videos of the victims, which they use to force the victims into transferring huge sums of money to them, with the threat of publishing same on social media if the the victims fail to comply with their demands. They also dispossess the individuals of their personal belongings.
