A 27-year-old Nigerian is awaiting extradition by Poland to the United States over an estimated $7million cyber-crime.
Reports say the unidentified Nigerian was arrested by Poland’s police in the southwestern city of Wroclaw in connection with alleged cyber-fraud and extortion done over the internet.
The Police Central Bureau of Investigation says in a communique today that the Nigerian was nabbed as a result of cooperation with the FBI and Interpol, which had circulated a warrant for him.
The police raid took him by surprise, the communique says.
The man is suspected of banking fraud, extortion, and theft of online banking access data.
