Fake spiritualists ‘steals’ businesswoman’s N7.5m

Two suspected fraudsters have been arrested for swindling a Lagos-based businesswoman out of N7.5m in the Ikorodu area of the state.

The Lagos State Police Command explained that the men were set to collect another money from the woman when they were nabbed.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, in a tweet on Sunday, explained that the suspects perpetrated the crime in the Ikorodu area of the state under the false pretences of providing spiritual help for the woman.

He explained that the suspects were on the brink of collecting another tranche of funds from the victim when the police arrested them.

Hundeyin wrote, “In Ikorodu, these two duped a woman to the tune of N7.5m under the guise of providing ‘spiritual help’. She realised the fraud and approached the police. They were apprehended when they arranged to get another batch of funds from her. Investigation is ongoing.”
