Ogun police nab lawyer who organised fake miracle over N250m fraud
Police in Ogun State have arrested a lawyer, Kayode Oshiyemi for allegedly conniving with others to extort a businessman of N250 million.
Kayode was said to have been caught on tape, planning with six others, to use any possible means to make the businessman cough out the sum.
The businessman, a farmer identified as Shakirudeen Olufowobi, had reported the attempted extortion to the police.
Olufowobi told the police that Kayode made several attempts to make him part with millions of naira, with threats to rope him in a case he knew nothing about or get him kidnapped for ransom.
Police were able to track and arrest the suspects, whose identities are given as: Adeborode Ogunlaja, Sodiq Owolabi, Abolaji Alabi, Mukaila Abolaji, Abiodun Adebayo, and Abolaji Adebola.
Abiodun Adebayo told the police that he regretted knowing the lawyer. He said Kayode once used him to profess a fake miracle in a crusade organised by one of his pastor friends.
He said he was asked to tie a live tortoise on his chest and come out while the crusade is going on to confess been a strong member of an occultist group who is disturbed by the pastor’s prayer.
