Division of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a 23-year-old suspect, Adeshola Muyiwa, for allegedly defrauding members of the public through fake and scheduled bank transfer scams in the Agbado axis and surrounding communities.
The arrest was effected on Sunday at about 11:45 a.m. following a report that the suspect visited a food vendor at Owolanwa Junction, Agbado, where he purchased food items valued at ₦2,600 and presented a fake transfer alert as proof of payment.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect had allegedly been operating a pattern of fraudulent transactions across multiple locations, targeting unsuspecting traders and small business owners.
During interrogation, the suspect reportedly confessed to engaging in the fraudulent scheme over a period of time, defrauding victims across different areas to the tune of approximately ₦10 million.
The Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, CP Bode Ojajuni, reaffirmed the command’s commitment to intensifying efforts against financial and cyber-related crimes across the state.
He advised residents, particularly traders and business owners, to always verify payments directly through their bank accounts or official banking platforms before releasing goods or rendering services.
