Five Nigerians were on Tuesday arrested and detained by a team of Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) after raiding a house at Alamnagar Sugandhya Housing at Hemayutpur area under Tetuljhara union.
Local newspaper, Bangla News 24, reports that the Nigerians were held from a flat at 2nd floor of the three-storied building owned by one Wahid Mia, for alleged fraud and cyber-crime.
Following a tip-off, the PBI team led by additional superintendent of police, ARM Alif, conducted the raid in the house in the afternoon.
After the raid, the police also seized four laptops, 11 mobile phones, 20 SIM cards, some pen drives and cash money.
According to the police “The detained Nigerian citizens have been residing in the rented flat for a year. They are members of a syndicate who snaffled a huge amount of money alluring people with fraud.”
