Meet
4 Yahoo yahoo fraudsters arrested recently for allegedly impersonating
APC leader, Bola Tinubu, Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni and a DSP.
The
suspects identified as 24-year-old Lucky Adieze, 23-year-old John
Ogunnowo, 21-year-old Obinna Collins and 58-year-old Afoke Adetolani
were paraded by Lagos Police Command yesterday.
See their individual confessions below:
Adieze Lucky:
“I
am a hip hop musician and I opened a Facebook account with Tinubu’s
picture to attract people. I think it was the person who gave me his
account number that made police to find me and arrest me two weeks ago.”
John Ogunnowo, 23 who gave Adieze his account number said:
“I
work in an health organization but when I lost my job, I was trying to
look for money to enable me go back to school. I only gave him my bank
account number not knowing that he had bad intention that will end up
putting me in trouble. “When I went to the bank to collect money, I was
told that my account was zero and in an attempt to know why, police
arrested me.”
Obinna Collins, who claimed to be National Diploma II Electrical Engineering Student said:
“I
opened a Facebook account using CP Owoseni because it is only way to
attract victims. Once they see CP, they would believe everything I tell
them and I would get the money I wanted. This particular woman, Mrs
Ronke, a business woman is the only victim. I was chatting with her and
she ended up paying N20, 000 into my account. I initially told her that I
had boys whom I am training in higher institution and I have a
foundation that is taking care of it.
“Surprisingly
Mrs Ronke told me to come and meet her at Conoil, Ikeja to collect
something she wanted to give me as a hard working Commissioner of
Police. I asked her whether she knew the size of my shoes and she said
it does not matter that what she wanted was to have fun with me. She
however insisted that she wanted me to collect the shoe and iPad as a
remembrance of our love. She said she had been nursing the idea of
having fun with me and that was what she wanted for her life.
“Unfortunately for me, when I came to collect the golden shoe and the Ipad, I was arrested by the police.”
Adetolani, a former traffic warden inspector known as yellow fever who impersonated a DSP said:
“I
was dismissed because my colleague who stole a tyre from a parked
exhibit vehicle in police station said that I planned it with him. I
tried to defend myself but they insisted that we did it together and
both of us were dismissed.
“To
help myself and my family, I decided to do something smart. I first
bought this uniform and later bought the DSP rank and ID card and
uniform for N15,000. I was dismissed from Surulere division in 1984.
They framed me up and dismissed me.
“I
bought a bus for commercial purpose but my offence is that I hanged
this uniform in my bus so that police, LASTMA, KAI, road safety and
other law enforcement agents will not disturb me on the road. You can
see that the name I used is my real name. I was stopped at Oshodi by
police and I told them that I am a police DSP and they paid me my
compliment but told me that they still wanted to investigate me.
“It
was that investigation and interrogation that gave me up. I tried to
bribe them yet they refused and told me that police have changed and
that it was no more business as usual. But one thing is clear; I did not
rob with it. I only used it to get respect and easy passage whenever I
meet law enforcement agents. Please tell police to forgive me, it is due
to the hardship I was passing through after my dismissal.”
