In a bid to protect themselves and their children from untimely death, a Nigerian couple were reportedly entrapped by a 37-year-old Beninoise, Gbese Peter, and scammed to the tune of N5m.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident in a statement on Monday. “Out of fear of the unknown, they agreed to embark on the said spiritual journey and he took them to the Republic of Benin, where he gave them a wooden coffin which he instructed them not to open until he asked them to do so.
“On interrogation, the suspect confessed to collecting money under false pretences from the couple, but he claimed that he only duped them of N3.5m and not N5m as claimed by the woman, and that he used the money to build a house for himself.”
