A Nigerian man was, yesterday, shot dead while 7 others were arrested when police raided an alleged online ‘love scam’ den in Imus, Cavite. •
The arrested suspects are identified as:
Kenneth Chukwu, Ikenna Dickson Okalla, Chukwuma George Adibe, Chiboy Stanley Agbasi, Dim Remedios, Abas Kashmir and Uba Living. •
The suspect killed has been identified as Orisakwe Ifeanyi Emmanuel.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) anti-cybercrime agents, armed with a court search warrant, swooped on the suspects’ hideout. •
The NBI’s report says that during the raid, the now-dead suspect grabbed a pistol and attempted to shoot at officers.
After being subdued, the official account says, he then tried to grab a hand grenade, prompting the agents to fire at him.
