“She did as he instructed and two weeks later, the suspect demanded for the sum of N400,000, and threatened to post her nude video on the internet,” he said.

The CP said during investigation, the complainant’s nude video and those of other ladies who were the suspect’s victims, were found in his phone.

He said the suspect will soon be charged to court.

In an interview with newsmen, the suspect said he introduced himself to the woman as a spiritualist, and promised to help her.

He said he had lost count of his victims as they are numerous.
