Three individuals have been arrested in Bo City for their alleged involvement in a money-doubling scam that defrauded a local resident of Le 18,200.
The suspects—Alhaji Kutubu of Hanson Road, Abubakarr Jah of Hard-up Lane, and Paul Max Bio, also known as Wizzy, from New Site—were apprehended following a report from Maseray Sheriff, the victim of the scam.
On February 15, 2025, Sheriff handed over Le 18,200 to the suspects under the belief that she would receive her money back with interest by the end of the day. When this promise went unfulfilled, she promptly reported the incident to the police.
Initial investigations indicate that the suspects may be linked to multiple fraudulent activities across Bo City and its surrounding areas. During the arrests, officers discovered a device resembling a printer, which is suspected to have been used for counterfeiting currency, along with burned Mercury papers, commonly associated with scams.
The investigation is ongoing, and police are working to uncover the full extent of the suspects’ fraudulent activities.
