A detective with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Gidado Musa, has related how he got an Indian suspect facing trial for alleged fraud arrested through his Nigerian girlfriend. advertisement The detective, during his examination-in-chief before the court, said that the Indian, Amit Angirish, accused of defrauding a Nigerian firm, was arrested through a lady identified as Faith Bakare, last year. Gidado was led in evidence by the counsel for the anti-graft commission, Mr Anselem Ozioko, at the resumed hearing of the matter. Angirish was accused of a nine-count charge of forgery, stealing and fraudulent conversion of about N63,000 worth of goods belonging to Daudeen Freight, where he worked as a marketer. It was reported that unknown to the lady that the EFFC were on the trail of the Indian, she had wanted to cash some money from a company on behalf of Angirish. She, however, led them to the hideout of the Indian in an hotel in Lagos, while some belongings of the suspect were later retrieved in her shop and house. The EFCC had sought the cooperation of some companies the Indian was dealing with to apprehend him. According to the detective, the Indian had, through e-mails, claimed to the companies, mostly multinationals, and his employer that he had travelled out of Nigeria.
