Police in Lusaka have arrested a 24 year old man for defrauding Zambian women who exchanged nude pictures with him.
Police Spokesperson Esther Katongo said Joel Sikaneta of Chowa Township in Kabwe was arrested for extortion and being in possession of obscene materials.
Ms Katongo said the suspect is believed to have between June and December, 2017 swindled seven (07) females using nine fake Facebook accounts opened in different names.
The suspect is believed to have between June and December, 2017 swindled seven females using nine fake facebook accounts opened in different names.
The accused person would pretend to be a white man, initiate an intimate relationship with unsuspecting females on Facebook after befriending them and promise to send them money in dollars and buy them cars.
He would begin by sending nude pictures for a white man on pretext that they were his and would later entice women to also send their nude pictures to him.
He would thereafter use another account purporting to be a wife to the white man claiming to have discovered conversations and nude pictures in her husband’s Facebook account.
The suspect would then begin demanding for money from victims and threatening to publish nude pictures if they did not comply.
When the victims plead for leniency, the purported wife would link them to either her brother or spiritual father here in Zambia who would give them an account number in which to deposit the money.
Several women including married women fell victim and ended up depositing money for fear of being embarrassed.
The suspect is currently detained in police custody and will appear in court soon.
Chamusebanya sana
Even married Zambian women? What’s this?
Sounds like Nigerian, but amazing the guy is a Kabwean.
Stupid zambian women Ukutemwa abasungu
In future you should arrest the women for being gullible.
See: I agree. They should also arrest all the women for distributing obscene material. That is also a criminal case. I remember Iris was caught up in that kind of case. Married women!!!! Yjo this world.
Too bad that the young man was caught. After dealing with five gullible women, he should have changed tactic, like pretending that he is a Pastor who can deliver white men to their door steps after planting the seed. Zambian Women, how silly can you be?
He’s a genius! Better than 42 million dollar engine trucks swindle or the mukula saga not forgetting the ambulances
Zedian crooks copying Nigerians now! Cha nsoni sana.
SHAME
When is ZP gonna arrest those who kill using cholera?
It is also corruption!
You are quick to report rubbish corruption cases.
Shameful but a very smart crook. Perhaps an ex-street vendor who has to survive in spite of the army-take over of streets.
Fake News if you don’t show us the pictures in question. We want to see the proof here.
Useless and desperate women. Thinking muzungu will date them
Imagine. Desperate housewives indeed. They will do anything for a few dollars more.
I hope the girls have also been arrested for indecent exposure
Tuma small, individualistic and personal cases aaah, very fast.
Clever story!!! It can be a nice movie but i would edit more on the ending just do not want police in my movie!
Kkkkkk yabaaa ?
..all this points to lack of employment…if this dude was kept busy with work he would have enough time to come up wth such a scum…an idle mind…..
Iwe: Crookedness is human in nature. What about the corruption being done by Employees!!!
clever crook
lesson learnt but lets see how it ends in court. we need to see who will come up against the same man in court. women got to have morals let them come and stand in court and explain what there intentions were. foolish married cheap women. Come out we see you.
Most of the African women are stupid when it comes to a white man because they think is it a status.They are lazy and want things the easy way.Look at divorce rates in developed country -very high.Do these Zambia care no ,as long as they are outside the country with something to show off.
A lesson for all those women who think everything white is Gold. Ukutemwisha ulupiya efyo kwaba. No wonder we see women running away whenever a husband stop earning an income. Shame on you if you are such !!
This guy is a genius. This is so enterprising
Hehehehehe I have to say this guy has potential to make it big if he can only be a little more organized.
Genius. I didn’t know we have geniuses in zed.
Reminds me of a song by Peter Tosh ‘The day the dollar die’…I envy the fella though!
Genius, those ladies are desperate and foolish.
