The long arm of the law
has again caught up with a suspected fraudster, Olu Adebanjo, who heads a
syndicate that extorts money from people in the guise of clearing them of
non-existent petition purportedly brought against them at the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission.
The 45-year-old businessman was arrested on June 17, 2016 in
a failed attempt to swindle Professor Julius A. Okojie, Executive Secretary of
National Universities Commission of N3million to clear him of a purported corruption
allegation.
The complainant (Okojie), who also alerted the Commission of the
activities of fraudsters impersonating him to defraud vice chancellors of
various Universities, was advised to play along.
Consequently, the suspect (Adebanjo) was arrested while
trying to cash ‘the money’ from one of the new generation banks.
He will be charged to
court as soon as investigation is concluded.
