Nigerian National Arrested for Email Hacking in India

$13,361 Theft: Nigerian National Charged in India

The Cyber Cell of the Delhi Police in India has arrested a Nigerian national, Patrick Ngomere, for allegedly hacking the email account of Family Care Pvt. Limited, a pharmaceutical company, and fraudulently siphoning off Rs 11.73 lakh (approximately $13,361).

The incident began on December 10, 2024, when the pharmaceutical company received an email impersonating its vendor, Accent Pharma, requesting payment to a new bank account. Unaware of the deception, the company transferred the funds. Upon verification, they discovered the fraud and reported it to the authorities.

Investigators traced the hacked email to Nigeria and followed the money trail to a bank account in Manipur, India. Surveillance footage led to Ngomere’s arrest near an ATM in Greater Noida. He was found without a valid Indian visa and is suspected to be part of a larger syndicate involved in cyber fraud across the country. An FIR has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Foreigners Act, and investigations are ongoing.
