**Nigerian National Arrested in India for Matrimonial Scam** A 38-year-old Nigerian national, identified as Samuel Ogun, alias Stepney Derrick, has been arrested in Faridabad, Haryana, India for allegedly cheating multiple women of millions of rupees by posing as a wealthy businessman on matrimonial websites and social media. According to the police, Ogun created fake profiles to target women seeking marriage. The accused allegedly used attractive photographs and fabricated personal details to build trust, presenting himself as an international businessman based abroad. He would initiate contact with victims, gradually drawing them into emotional relationships and promising marriage. Ogun would then send fake flight tickets and parcel receipts, claiming that he was traveling to India to meet and marry the victims. He would later claim that his luggage or parcels had been detained by the customs department and require urgent payment for clearance. Victims, convinced by the narrative, transferred large sums into multiple bank accounts. Losses in such cases ran into lakhs and crores. In addition to the matrimonial scam, the accused is also suspected of cheating people by offering fake loan services with promises of quick approvals at low interest rates. According to the police, Ogun was arrested during investigations into two cases registered against him at Noida cybercrime police station. In one case, a woman was cheated of nearly Rs 56 lakh, while another victim lost around Rs 1.3 crore. Cases linked to the accused have also surfaced in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Police suspect that several similar frauds may have been carried out across different states. On Thursday, March 19, 2026, a police team recovered five mobile phones, a laptop, a tablet, a Wi-Fi router, a dongle, several SIM cards, foreign currency, and multiple passports bearing different identities, along with forged documents from Ogun's Faridabad house. Investigators said the accused used multiple fake identities and passports of different nationalities to evade detection. When one identity became unusable, he allegedly traveled abroad to obtain another before returning to India. Digital evidence, police said, indicated that Ogun maintained simultaneous contact with 15 to 16 women under different aliases. Devices seized during the arrest have been sent for forensic examination for further leads.
