Chhattisgarh Police on Sunday arrested a 34-year-old Nigerian man from New Delhi and brought him here for cheating a man of Rs 20.10 lakhs.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Urban) Abhishek Maheshwari identified him as Walter Chukwuebuka Lewis. He cheated Tarun Kumar Dewangan of Raipur.
The accused was nabbed from Chattarpur in south Delhi.
He told the police that he took money from Dewanagan between October 2022 and March 2023.
He said he initially bought 1 litre of Fludarabine (oral route) worth Rs 63,000 and paid Dewangan.
Then, he bought 50 more litres of the same medicine and promised to pay Dewangan after converting his dollars into Indian currency. But he did not do that.
The police seized 12 mobile phones, seven SIM cards and Rs 6,500 in cash from him. A court sent him to prison.
