When I read this story the popular saying came to my mind, not all that glitters is gold, everyone is born with a beautiful seed inside, it is left for you to bring out that seed into reality, but we humans are too impatient these days and we derail from our purpose that is why a mother of 5 children was caught with other suspects who major in duping
Bureau de
Change owners in Lagos and Abuja. She said she joined last year, but
unfortunately she couldn't stop because the money involved was good and
tempting.
Read her story below...
32-year-old Lebanese, Amira
Abdallahi, along with five others have been arrested by the police for alleged
robberies and frauds totalling N20m in different parts of Lagos and Abuja. The
suspects, Princewill Eze, 55; Daniel Okpara, 30; Paul Irior, 37; Bassey
Ekpenyong, 39; Royal Nwabuike, 32; and the Lebanese woman disguised as
officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and wore the
commission’s branded vests to carry out the illegal acts.
The items recovered from the
gang when they were nabbed included, six Toyota vehicles, one single-barrelled
pistol and a Bryco pistol. N4m and $13, 000 were also recovered from them in
cash.
“I was born in Nigeria and I
grew up in Lagos. I stay in Lekki area with my family. I am married with five
daughters. The first money I got from the deals was $5,000. I could not stop
because the money was tempting.
“I was formerly doing
interior decorations work. That was how I met Eze, who is nicknamed Senator. I
did some interior design jobs for him in a hotel he owned. That was around March
2014.
I had done about six deals
with the gang. My role is just to talk on phone with our would-be victims. They
think I am a foreigner, and they are willing to trust us. I have made about
N10m so far, but all the accounts have been drained now. I handed everything
over to the police,” she told a Punch reporter.
