Agboville: Fake Burkinabè international footballer defrauds hotelier of 850,000 CFA francs (2)

In Agboville, a man identifying himself as Djibril Compaoré, a former Burkinabè international footballer living in Germany, allegedly defrauded a hotelier of about 850,000 CFA francs, as well as leaving accommodation and meals unpaid. He reportedly built trust by claiming connections to A’Salfo, Burkinabè officials and other public figures, and by promising land deals. The hotelier sent him several payments through Orange Money for various supposed needs before realizing he had been deceived on October 11. The man later claimed he was waiting for a 2,000-euro transfer, asked for money for a Yango ride, and then stopped responding.

Suspended Niger State NSCDC commandant Suberu Siyaka Aniviye told the Justice Mohammed Mohammed Commission of Inquiry that the deaths of suspected illegal miners in custody could have been avoided and apologised to their families and the state government. Suspended legal unit head Stephen Tsado said he had advised Aniviye to bail the underage suspects to their parents, but his advice was ignored. Aniviye said the arrests followed residents’ complaints about mining near M.I. Wushishi Housing Estate and took place on September 16, 2026; he found the bodies in the detention cell the next day. Nurse Maryam Etang testified that one body was Emeka Emmanuel, who had not been among those arrested in the operation.
