An Abuja-based disc jockey, Raymond Terver, popularly known as DJ Ice, has been arrested by operatives of the Intelligence Response Team for allegedly purchasing expensive drinks and other goods using fake alerts.
Parading the suspect before newsmen on Monday, September 17, the spokesperson of the Police Force, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the suspect sold the drinks and other goods through intermediaries to conceal his identity. He said DJ Ice who started the crime in June 2023, met his Waterloo after he purchased drinks from a hotel in August using a fake alert. He said the suspect made over N8 million from the scheme, which he used to purchase DJ equipment.
“The suspect was arrested in August 2024 for purchasing goods using fake payment alerts. He admitted to starting this scheme in June 2024, ordering expensive drinks, particularly Hennessy XO, from the ‘For You’ Hotel and Restaurant in Jabi, Abuja. He would send fake payment receipts via WhatsApp, arrange for a dispatch rider to collect the drinks, and then send them through intermediaries to conceal his identity.
The restaurant noticed discrepancies in their inventory and reported the issue to the IRT, which led to his arrest. After a thorough investigation, he confessed to making over ₦8 million from this fraud, which he used to buy DJ equipment.”
Speaking to newsmen, the suspect said economic hardship forced him to turn to crime.
“The reason I decided to go down this path is because of the hardship we are facing. I was eager to make money and acquire DJ equipment for myself. I have been in this line of business for up to 15 years, and throughout that time, I have been looking for ways to earn money and get equipment.
I bought the equipment for about ₦5 million. I had not started using it before I was arrested. I bought it in August. I feel very sorry for myself.”
Narrating how he perpetrated the crime, he said;
“I found the restaurant through Google, contacted them, and if they had the goods, particularly liquor, they confirmed it. I then fabricated a receipt on my computer using the Paint app, sent it to them as proof of payment, and arranged for a dispatch rider to collect the goods. I said I would send a dispatch rider to pick it up, and they agreed. I sent the rider, who collected the goods. That is how I carried out the scheme.”
