Amotekun Nabs, Parades 5 Serial Fraudsters In Ikere- Ekiti

Five suspected fraudsters have been arrested at Ikere-Ekiti by operatives of  Ekiti State Amotekun security outfit.

The Commandant, Brigadier-General Joe Komolafe confirmed this in a press briefing, describing the alleged culprits as serial fraudsters who dupe people.

According to Gen Komolafe, “their modus operandi is that they will call you, tell you they have seen the vision for you for your life to be ok, go and bring this, go and bring that. They dupe people to the extent that the victims are threatened that they would lose every member of their family.

“My colleague in Ogun State put a call to me that one of the people staying in Abeokuta, in Ogun State was duped to the tune of about N2.5m or thereabout by some group in Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State, threatening to kill him, that I should please assist”.

“At that point, he said his men started to trace the alleged fraudsters at Ikere-Ekiti, and God gave them success.

He said ”here we are, five of them were arrested in their shrines at Ikere. We destroyed part of the shrines and brought some to our office.

“We are engaged in a thorough investigation to get more of such suspects. These are not the only people, they are just a fraction of the people we are looking for in the State. There was a time we went to Atikankan to arrest some of them”.

The Commandant explained that the hunt for such unscrupulous elements in different parts of the State is a continuous affair, adding that the Command is not going to stop because those involved in the nefarious act are more than those already in the net.

“This is just a location, I know there are other shrines in Ikere. We will be there,” he stated.
