A police source disclosed to one of Punch's correspondents that the suspects impersonated Moguno to collect N13m from a Ghanaian, who wanted to get an oil block in Nigeria, and posed as Lawal to swindle one Nnamdi Udo of N4m under false pretences of helping him to get a federal appointment.

“They also posed as the Chief of Staff to the President and collected N2.5m from one Mr. Bishop, who was looking for a contract, and another N700,000 from one Shehu Dan Yahaya, who was seeking a federal appointment.

“Ogogo, a native of Omoku Rivers State, impersonated prominent citizens from the South-South and South-East; Eragbe impersonated prominent persons from the North; Oshamoto posed as prominent citizens from the South-West and North-Central; while Idah supplied them SIM cards registered with the names of the top government officials.

“They were arrested in a luxury hotel in Kaduna and had confessed to impersonating several prominent citizens,” the source added.

Another senior police officer disclosed to Punch Metro that the suspects confessed to have realised N20m in six months from their criminal activities.

He added that the mastermind of the gang was based in the United Kingdom.

He said, “Ogogo is their leader; but they mentioned one Prince Maurice, based in the UK, as their gang leader.  Fourteen different phones, several registered SIM cards, and a diary containing phone numbers of several top government officials, were recovered from the suspects.

“Ogogo further confessed that they had made over N20m from their criminal activities within the last six months.”

A High Court in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, presided over by Justice H. Saleeman on Thursday sentenced three persons to death by hanging for armed robbery and attempting to commit culpable homicide against a professor with the University of Ilorin, Prof. Abdullahi Onimisi.

The convicts, who are Onimisi’s former driver, Mr. Opeyemi Esan; one Mr. Benjamin Musa and Mr. Oluwasegun Ajiboye, were convicted of robbery, punishable under Section 1 (2) Robbery and Firearms Act, Cap R 11, LFN 2004

The Kwara State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Kamalden Ajibade, who led the prosecution, had told the court that the professor disengaged the service of Esan due to his unruly behaviour.

Ajiade added that Esan was aggrieved with his dismissal and organised a robbery attack to retaliate the sack.

Esan, in his confession to the police, was said to have owned up that he recruited Musa and Ajiboye from Lagos State to deal with his former boss.

Ajibade said, “On September 10, 2016, at the Senior Staff Quarters, University of Ilorin, the accused, while armed with weapons, including guns and machetes, robbed Onimisi and his family of their property, including a car, handsets, jewellery, and other valuables.”

EFCC Arrests Woman Over N45m Herbal Cure Fraud (Photo)

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibadan Zonal office, have arrested one Okiribiti Adunola Aminat over an alleged case of conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretence. In a rehash of the old infamous advance fee fraud tact of spiritual help and solution to all problems, a victim has recounted her ordeal in the hands of a syndicate to the operatives signaling a warning to the public.

Aminat alongside other three cohorts (still at large) conspired using the decoy of providing cure and spiritual solution to the health challenges of the victim’s (name withheld) children and fleeced her of the sum of Forty five million naira (N45M).

Aminat, 34, who is married to one Wande Sesan Okiribiti, 47 (still at large) confessed that some of the money obtained from the victim was collected by her through her bank account domiciled at one of the new generation banks located in Ibadan.

According to the complainant, she allegedly met Wande sometimes in October 2014 at Utako, Abuja while in search of a cure for the health challenges of her children. Wande who posed as a local herb hawker and a spiritualist capable of providing solutions to all problems of unsuspecting patrons lured her to believing he had the cure to her children’s challenges. She subsequently made different payments as advised totaling forty five million naira.

However, the wool fell off her eyes when the request for funds transfers continued unabated, hence a petition to the Commission.
Members of the public are however, by the experience of this victim, advised to be weary of this age long tactic to avoid falling prey.
Aminat will be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.

While the dad was not apprehended due to ill health, her mother is believed to have tried to resist the punishment for her daughter.
