A suspected Nigerian fraudster, Mr. Lateef Adedoja, has been arrested in Dubai for allegedly committing several offences ranging from issuance of dud cheques, spending fake currencies and forgery of documents, among others. The 29-year old Nigerian, who also claimed to be a British citizen and has for long been on the wanted list at various police stations for several offences, was eventually arrested after he conned a Nigerian businessman of about N15 million.
Adedoja allegedly collected money in installments from the businessman through his Nigerian bank account but did not keep his own side of their business bargain.
The bubble burst when the businessman traced him to Dubai and alerted the police about the fraud.
The suspect was alleged to have duped many people including Nigerians under the guise of being the MD/CEO of a number of companies namely, Nextcom Data Processing Ltd., Data Star Solutions and Pizza Pot Restaurant, all based in Dubai.
Adedoja also allegedly deceived his victims at different times that he was a manufacturers’ representative, bureau de change operator and an employment agent recruiting for companies in the United Arab Emirates.
The suspect allegedly operated from Suite 10, 18th Floor, Silver Tower; Business Bay, Dubai before he was arrested by the police on Wednesday, 18 June, 2014.
Adedoja has been detained at Bur-Dubai Police Headquarters and officers from various police units have confirmed that he was the same person on their wanted list.

Please check your backyards….and closets.. there are no saints Only lazy people will commit all sorts of crimes regardless of their tribes.
I do not condone any type of criminal activity….This guy should be jailed for a long time… But one thing for sure….he is not going to end up on death row like our brothers and sisters in those Asian countries.
