She explained that the suspect ran away with the money and switched off her phone after she promised to buy the oil and resell for her with good profit at Port Harcourt, River state. The victim who lamented that the suspected fraudster ran away with the money added that they have been using church's chapel to cover their shabby deal until luck ran out of the woman when security men arrested her in Abakaliki.
