Delhi Police has busted a credit card fraud in the capital city when they arrested three Nigerian nationals on charges of credit cards fraud in New Delhi. This is the second case of Nigerians being involved in credit card frauds. Just last month, Mumbai police had caught another gang of three who used to buy mobile phones on their fake credit cards.

The three, Abayomi Anifowoshe, Bawwa and Evans Amathila Imadonmwinyi were caught when they were trying to purchase goods using fake credit cards from a city market.

Talking about the case, A. S. Cheema, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Delhi, said, "These cloned cards as was told were brought from Nigeria but we are contemplating that these cards were made after they've reached India. The police remand is being sought to make further investigation in the matter to catch the person who is in-charge of the cloning process. There is an organised committee without a doubt as per the SMS in one of their mobiles showing a message from Kenya barring the number and pin code of the credit cards."

The three were taken to a police station whereby on sustained interrogation, they buckled and all three admitted to their crime, said the police.

"We've seized seven international credit cards which are completely operational along with a laptop containing the information on all the credit cards. Two newly purchased mobile phones, contained the information on fresh credit cards," said Cheema.

The police said that they were aware of such a gang which had been shopping in and around the city using these cloned credit cards.

The police are now looking for their remand. The three accused Nigerian nationals would be produced in Patiala House court where the police would seek their remand for further investigations.
