Vanguard gathered that Hillary, who is a native of Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State and a graduate of Civil Engineering from Ambrose Ali University, Epkoma, ran into trouble, when Raiji, who he met on an internet dating site, wrote a petition against him to the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, detailing how she attempted suicide, having realized that Hilary defrauded her of the said sum, which she took as a loan from a bank in Finland.
Sources disclosed to Vanguard that, Hilary who was formerly based in Turkey, made the finish woman pay the sum of 178,000 euros to an account belonging to one of his cronies, Beggie, on the guise that the money would be used for a business that would yield huge profit for both of them.
It was further gathered that after the woman waited endlessly for the said profit that was to come from the business which she believed she had invested her money, she was forced to investigate who Marco Paulo was and she discovered, that he was a Nigerian internet fraudster, disguising as an American soldier serving in Iraq.
Vanguard learned that the IGP, based on the petition, directed his operatives at the IRT to trail and arrest all the suspects involved in the scam.
