In Perak, two Nigerian male students and a local woman pleaded not guilty at the Ipoh Magistrate's Court today to a charge of cheating a United States citizen, involving losses of more than RM60,000. Eze Chimizie Kingsley and Anayo Apakabi, aged 30 and 28, and 46-year-old Mazni Marzuki, a hotel housekeeping staff, claimed trial after the charge against them was read out before Magistrate Nurul Hafizah Mohammad Fauzi. All three were jointly charged with cheating Law Ah Fook, from Ipoh, into believing that he would receive a non-existent package that prompted him to hand over cash amounting to RM62,034. They allegedly committed the offence at Housing Trust in Ipoh on December 13 last year and were charged under the Penal Code, which carries maximum imprisonment of 10 years, whipping and also liable to a fine, upon conviction. The court granted four thousand ringgit bail with one surety for Mazni while the two foreigners were not allowed bail. Both men were also charged in the same court with overstaying in the country after their students’ passes expired on May 20, 2016 and June 3, 2017 respectively. The court fixed February 12 for mention for all the cases.
