The Anambra State Police Command has begun investigating a viral video showing an unidentified lady allegedly defrauding a 58-year-old handicapped woman at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in Nnewi.

According to a statement released today, December 19, by the Command’s spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the suspect disguised herself as a helper to the victim before swapping her ATM card.

He also ordered the deployment of advanced intelligence-gathering tools to identify the suspect and her potential accomplices.
