A 42-year-old leader of a 4-man fraud syndicate operating in Ikeja,
Ojota, Ojodu, Berger, Ogba, College Road and Agege, has been
arrested…Osuji Chibuzor was lured into the waiting hands of police
officers after his team had successfully swindled a 34-year-old lady of
the sum of N165,000..
The suspect, whose role in the gang was to
prophesy to victims after he or she must have been lured into their
offices at 8, Afolabi Street, Iju Shaga and 7, Salami Street, Oko Oba,
Agege, disclosed his gang used fake dollars to entrap their victims..
.Osuji
explained that his team members, comprising of Frank, Stella and Emeka
drive out daily to lure suspects, who they would have tricked into their
dollar making scam.
He added that after luring the victim to
their office, he is invited as a pastor to pray for the victim…He
noted that it is in the process of praying for the victim, that he would
start requesting for money for anointing oil, chemicals for the washing
of the money and other charges.
He added that frustration made
him join the fraud gang three years ago. ..Their last victim noted that
she boarded a private taxi in Ojota to Ojodu Berger. “We were still in
Oregun when the driver picked another passenger.
I was at this
point they started their trick on me…I ended up in their office in
Iju, where they collected all the money on me including the one in my
account. They made me swear to an oath never to inform anyone.
Thereafter, Osuji requested that I go get another N60,000 to complete
the ritual.
After collecting N165,000, they still wouldnt let me
rest. I borrowed N60,000, being the balance of what they needed. I was
on the way to hand it over to them when I regained my consciousness.
Luckily for me, with the assistance of a patrol team of RRS men, I was able to lure him out and got him arrested.”
