The suspect is alleged to have been purporting to be a link to a Mr Smith and was asking people through Facebook and Twitter to send nude videos on pretext that he would sent them to a Mr Smith who could later send them K100, 000.
After receiving the videos, the suspect is alleged to have been blackmailing those who sent videos asking for money from them or have the videos published.
The suspect is detained in police custody and will appear in court soon.
The Zambia Police have continued with the investigations with a view of apprehending more scammers who could have been involved and are warning all those involved in such activities that soon, the long arm of the Law will catch up with them. We further warn those in a habit of making and producing obscene materials to desist or face the Law.
