The scammer from Sierra Leone is to be returned to Sierra Leone by Guinean Interpol for a police probe.

The renowned con artist who was captured by some wise Sierra Leoneans in Guinea will be transferred to Sierra Leone later today for a police inquiry. 
Numerous Sierra Leoneans have reported that this suspect conned them. The suspect has a history of misleading people with false offers. 
He has been identifying himself as a lecturer from the Njala University and as Dr. Kanu or Dr. Jalloh. 
He committed crimes by promising his victims government pin codes, particularly for nurses and teachers, international scholarships, etc. 

He has, regrettably, been detained in Guinea and transported to the Forecariah police station. 

How was he apprehended? 

 In early January of this year, he posted in a WhatsApp group in Kambia that he had scholarship chances and could help people acquire government pin codes, among other things, but that the offer was only valid for those from the South and east.  

Someone sent him NLe1,500 for overseas study without realizing he was a scammer.  The scammer claimed that the entire application process for the scholarship cost 3,000 New Leone. 

Later, the contacted person realized that he was not who he had been representing himself to be, and he immediately blocked the victim of his syndicate. 

He once more perpetrated the same crime against Molai, another individual, and someone else.  In the pretense of an international scholarship, he demanded 3000 New Leones from each person. He accepted the cash and fled without telling them where he was. 

The men tracked the con artist who was posing as a university instructor using a woman. 

Online, the woman proposed to him romantically. The conman then had to send the woman a transportation fare and instruct her to meet him in Kambia. The woman and the two men he had conned left Freetown for Kambia. When they got there, the woman who had been hired to track him dialed the fraudster.

When he got the call, he instructed the woman to meet him in Forecariah, Guinea. The woman and the two men traveled there on a motorcycle. The two men luckily caught him red-handed and took him to the closest police station in Forecariah.

He is currently in police custody, but the two men went to the Interpol office in Gbalamuya this morning with Sgt. Moses Bangura, who is a member of the Gbalamuya office of Interpol. 


The Guinean authorities have  asked for a letter of official confirmation that would attest to the fact that the criminal is needed in Sierra Leone.

To obtain the letter from the Interpol chief in Freetown, the guys have  traveled to Freetown.

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead".

Dr. John Idriss Lahai, the whistle-blower for fake degrees is "Social Medially dead". If you recall, in the year 2022, Dr. John Idriss Lahai, a whistle-blower who exposed a phony degree, attracted the attention of every patriotic Sierra Leonean. His activity came to light after it was found that numerous Sierra Leoneans had received honorary PhDs from a Waterloo, Western Rural District postsecondary institution that was not accredited. Even well-known Sierra Leoneans, including the previous Inspector General of Police, were given honorary PhDs by the university known as Dominion University. When it was determined that the aforementioned university lacks the integrity to grant such a credential, the IG subsequently declined the offer. Dominion University PHD award ceremony From this point on, Dr. John Idriss Lahai began to expose Sierra Leoneans who, in his opinion, had earned questionable academic credentials. He then began to draw attention from people from all
