An Emirati policeman testified that the victim, of Turkish origin, reported the incident after the defendant assaulted him and stole his money.
The gang lured the victim to the apartment, closed the door, tied his hands, assaulted him and threatened to kill him.
“I was assaulted by the suspects and they withdraw Dh30,000($8,167) from bank account using my bank card and details. They were three men and a woman,” the victim said according to police records.
Dubai Public Prosecution charged the 22-year-old Nigerian for locking the victim inside an apartment, theft, and using his credit card without authorization.
The Nigerian will remain in custody until the trial begins on July 16, reports Gulf News.
