Four suspected internet fraudsters have been arrested by men of the Ogun State Police Command for the alleged abduction of their colleague over sharing of proceeds from their fraudulent business. The State Police PRO, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement, said operatives attached to the Owode Egba divisional headquarters arrested the four suspects after responding to an alert. He said the division swung into action after receiving information that one Haruna Usman, who had been kidnapped last Thursday, December 22, 2022 is being held hostage around Orile Imo.
The suspects, Agbe Simeon, Messiah Nicky, Oladapo Dolapo and Yetunde Shonola, were arrested at Orile imo village in Obafemi Owode LGA of the state after officers stormed the area. He also said that two members of the gang escaped in the course of the raid on their hideout.
Oyeyemi said; “Preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and the suspects belong to an internet fraudster syndicate, and that they recently swindled somebody whose identity is not yet known of sum of N26,437,950, but the victim only gave the sum of N2,200 to his other colleagues, claiming that the money has not been paid completely by their client.
This infuriated his colleagues who then lured him to an herbalist home at Orile Imo and held him ho§tage there since Thursday with threat to kill him there if he refused to give them their complete share. But while they were there, information got to the police who moved in, rescued the victim and apprehended four amongst the abductors, while others escaped.”
