He said that the police got information about some group of persons going around the metropolis, defrauding innocent citizens of their hard-earned money and promising to double their money through spiritual means.

“Based on the information, operatives from FSARS Ikeja and the Command’s operatives swung into action and arrested two suspected fraudsters at Nglasia Hotel, Ilasa, Lagos.

“They were immediately searched and the police recovered from them two gallons of liquid labelled “Solen point”, cash stack of US Dollars suspected to be fake and Platinum Brokers International Incorporation documents.

“During interrogation, they confessed to have committed the crime and added that they are professional dupes. That once they are able to bring out the greed in any person, he becomes an easy prey.

“It was discovered that the suspects have so far defrauded one Victoria Awoniyi of the sum of N5.7 million, Taiwo Kayode of N300,000 and Adebisi Adebayo of N500,000.
