$100,000 alleged fraud — Police arraign three suspects in Abuja

The Nigeria Police Force has charged three individuals with fraud involving $100,000 in a case presented before the Federal High Court in Abuja. The suspects—George Ali, Anthony Ali, and Simon Ali—face allegations of criminal conspiracy, breach of trust, and obtaining money by false pretenses.

The case stems from a 2009 incident in which a complainant reported the suspects after transferring $100,000 for the purchase and shipment of automotive spare parts from the United States. According to authorities, the transaction was not completed as promised, and the funds were allegedly misappropriated.

The suspects appeared in Court 6 of the Federal High Court in Maitama, Abuja, where the matter was adjourned until December 3, 2026, for further proceedings. Law enforcement officials revealed that the investigation was initiated by operatives of the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Abuja, following claims that the transferred funds were not utilized for their intended purpose.
