Kano man arrested in Adamawa for alleged fraud

Usman Garba has been detained by the police in Adamawa State for allegedly engaging in a N2.5 million money-printing fraud.

The 29-year-old Gabriel Ishaku's victim, 45-year-old Garba, was detained after allegedly receiving the N2.5 million in instalments but failing to print the N30 million he had promised to print for him.

It was discovered on Thursday that Garba, a resident of Ruwan Bobo Mushiyar Mai Kaho in the Rogo LGA of Kano State, had committed the act against Ishaku, a resident of Boka ward in the Michika LGA of Adamawa State, by calling him repeatedly and demanding various sums to buy certain necessities, adding up to a total of N2.5 million over a period of time, for the promised N30 million.

Following a meeting set up by a herbalist named Ibrahim, in which Garba agreed to print N30 million in the currency for Ishaku, Garba started requesting cash to pay for other necessities while claiming that demons had agreed to print the money.

He asserted that in order to organise the printing process, the devils required monkeys, foxes, goats, dogs, and calves.

It was discovered that Garba was using the money Ishaku provided him in instalments to support his two wives and eight kids.

On April 15, 2022, Ishaku suspected foul play and reported it to the police in Michika, which resulted in Garba's arrest in his native Kano.

SP The incident was confirmed on Thursday by Suleiman Nguroje, the police public relations officer in Adamawa State, who said that Ishaku claimed Garba started threatening him after he stopped giving him money.

Ishaku sent Garba N700,000 (instead of N2.5 million), according to Garba, who acknowledged that he had misled him but denied having ever threatened Ishaku.
