A man who claimed he was hired to assassinate Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, was on Sunday, arrested by men of the Nigeria police, for attempted fraud.

The young man identified as Opoma Terry who recently got back from Ghana, was arrested for trying to defraud Ned Nwoko, the billionaire husband of the screen goddess.

According to Nairaland, the suspect, at first, tried defrauding Chief Ned the sum of N700,000 after claiming he was hired to assassinate Regina but along the line, had a change of mind and started opening up his intentions.

To the extent of opening up that he’s not actually an assassin, but a yahoo boy who just needs his financial assistance to drop the habit.

Chief Ned Nwoko while playing along with him requested for his account details for the said assistance and made a transfer of N400,000 to him.

But before then, he already alerted Access bank management and security operatives about the said assassin.

On his way to make the withdrawal three days ago, he was nabbed.
