The police have arrested a suspected fraudster, Uchenna Ugwu, for allegedly defrauding some women and later raping them. The 26-year-old indigene of Enugu State, while being paraded at the Awka, Anambra State office of the Department of State Service, confessed to the crime, adding that he raped his victims to fight boredom.
It was learnt that Ugwu belonged to a syndicate, which specialised in luring ladies while pretending to be spiritualists, defrauding and raping them.
It was learnt that if a victim refused to comply, the group would threaten to inflict a strange ailment on her based on a spiritual power they possess.
PUNCH Metro gathered that having succeeded, the gang members would take their victim to an arranged prayer house, where she would be compelled to take a oath never to disclose her experience to anyone.
The victim would then be raped on the pretext of making a charm for her.
Our correspondent learnt that that was how Ugwu and his group operated in Asaba, Delta State, and Obosi, in the Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State for a long time, before luck ran out on Ugwu.
The Director of DSS, Alex Okeiyi, said the antics of the hoodlums were many, warning members of the public, especially females, to be cautious.
