Nigerian Defrauds Indian Pastor Of N12million After Disguising As Philanthropist

Cybercrime detectives of the Hyderabad Commission have arrested a Nigerian, identified as Morgan, who defrauded a pastor of over Rs 24 lakh (N12million) by posing as a Canadian philanthropist, wishing to donate money and masks for pandemic-affected poor of the city.

According to the Times of India, the Nigerian was residing in Bangalore.

The police explained that Morgan befriended Pastor Moses of Banjara Hills through a social networking platform by posing as a Canadian philanthropist.

The police said, “Morgan told Pastor Moses that he was upset about the poor, who were worst affected by the pandemic. 

Morgan told Moses that he donates money for charity and expressed his willingness to send some cash to Moses along with other items like sanitisers, masks and laptops to distribute among the poor,” cybercrime Assistant of Commissioner of Police KVM Prasad, said.

“After Moses agreed to distribute the items, he received a phone call from a woman, who posed as a customs official at the Delhi airport and alerted him about an international parcel that they seized. 

“The fraudster, posing as a customs official, asked the pastor to pay the processing fee and customs duty to clear it for dispatch. After Moses deposited a few lakhs of rupees in the bank accounts mentioned, she kept asking him to deposit more in the name of income tax and money laundering fine. In one month, Moses had sent Rs 24.39 lakh before realising that he was duped and lodged a complaint on August 19.”  

Meanwhile, Bangalore police arrested the accused in a similar fraud, and Hyderabad police brought Morgan to the city on a prisoner-transit warrant.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,
