Yemi Akinsuyi in Abuja
The Police have arrested a suspected cyber scammer, Elom Nzube, for allegedly impersonating a Tanzanian, Dr. Reginald Remengi and blackmailing Mrs. Tinu Abiola, the Managing Director, HTM International Nigeria Ltd.
Nzube, 25, was said to have hacked Abiola's Tweeter accounts and threatened to tarnish her image if she did not pay him $5,000.
The suspect who was paraded at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Friday, was also alleged to have hacked into Remengi's Twitter account and impersonated the Tanzanian who was Abiola's friend.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Kolawole, who addressed journalists, said Abiola petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, on December 1, 2015 after Nzube attempted to extort money from her.
