Operatives of Amotekun Corps have arrested a 31 years old woman who allegedly duped many people in Lagos and other states, posing as a bank manager in Osun State.
The fake bank manager was among six suspects paraded by Amotekun Corps Commander in Osun, Dr Omoyele Adekunle on Tuesday in Osogbo, the state capital.
Adekunle said the seven suspects were arrested over alleged involvement in various crimes.
According to him, Amotekun operatives arrested the fake bank manager at 2:45p.m., on Oct. 19 in Osogbo following a petition by one Mr Fatai Saheed, who was allegedly duped of N4.5 million by her.
He said that the other six suspects, between the ages of 18 and 37, were arrested for alleged crimes including stealing an unregistered Bajaj motorcycle, obtaining money on false pretences and duping PoS operators.
The Amotekun Commander said that the suspects would be handed over to the appropriate authority for prosecution.
Adekunle reassured the public that under his leadership, the corps would work assiduously to minimize crime in the state.
He said that available human and material assets of the corps would be deployed to enhance security of lives and properties in the state. (NAN)
