*MOMO FRAUD: A FOUR MONTH NURSING MOTHER THREATENS SUICIDE AFTER FRAUDSTERS OUTWITTED HER*

A 4 month nursing mother, Abigail Baidoo, 30, threatens to commit suicide to end it all after Momo fraudsters outwitted her to a tune of GH¢ 1,400.00 a month ago. 

Narrating her story, madam Abigail said on July 11, 2020, she received a call from an unknown person, purported to have deposited money is in her (madam Abigail) Momo account mistakenly and that, she should resend it to him. In just some few minutes, according to her, the alleged fraudster called again and said her Momo account has been blocked by MTN and that, only if she had paid GH¢ 1,400.00 to the alleged service provider that she could access her account again.

Madam Abigail said, upon hearing this, she rushed to a Momo vender to initiate the transaction with a number given to her by the caller purported to belong to an MTN officer. She said, however, that she finished the transaction before realising she had been outwitted in the process.

Madam Baidoo said she was immediately taken to the Devtraco Police Station by the merchant for interrogations, according to her. 

The case has since been lodged at the Devtraco Police Station at Community 25 to ascertain the truth in the matter.
