HE is a familiar face on most A-List high networking parties in Nigeria. He is regarded a ‘successful businessman’ by a few circles of friends. But in the United Arab Emirates, UAE, particularly in Dubai, this Nigerian Cyber actor, Naube Henry Ikeji was found by security operatives in the Middle East to have cloned the identity, impersonate the Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to deceive vulnerable ladies around the world and directly pilfer $2.5 Million from a Romanian woman.
Ikeji lives large, drives expensive state of art vehicles, owns luxurious building properties in Africa’s most populous black nation and the UAE.
He has been accused of posing as the Crown Prince of Dubai to scam a Romanian woman out of millions of dollars in an elaborate romance fraud.
According to Peoples Gazette, investigations by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) revealed that Ikeji allegedly ran a syndicate targeting foreign women seeking love online.
The victim, identified only as Laura, said she was contacted on LinkedIn three years ago by a man claiming to be Dubai’s crown prince, who initially sought her advice on humanitarian projects before turning the interaction into a romantic relationship.
As the relationship deepened, Laura was persuaded to meet a supposed financial manager in London to help set up a Barclays account. The man, later identified by British police as Martins Abhulimhen, allegedly posed under a false name and claimed to manage royal finances.
Laura was later given access to an online account showing about £202 million in her name. To withdraw the funds, she was repeatedly asked to pay fees, eventually sending about £2.5 million before realising the account was fake.
