The Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Nnamdi Omoni, said that the suspect lured his female victims on social media with mouth-watering promises before carrying out the criminal act.
Omoni stated that the suspect was arrested when he was spotted at a popular supermarket at Ada George Road, Port Harcourt by one of his victims who raised an alarm that attracted passers-by and he was apprehended and handed over to the police.
The police image maker revealed that his mode of operation could be linked to that of a serial killer but only that he does not kill his victims.
He noted that the command has deployed technical intelligence to recover the items he had carted away from his victims while investigation is ongoing.
The suspect, Mr Belema Ibiama, who also introduced himself as Favour told The Tide that he chatted one Blessing up on social media and the lady agreed to have sex with him if he pays N20,000.
