A three-man syndicate that specialises in duping innocent passengers in commercial vehicles has been arrested.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, PRO for Lagos State Police Command on Saturday listed the suspects arrested to be: Abiodun Bamidele, aged 48, Olumide Faleye, aged 45 and a female suspect, Toyin Adekoya, aged 49.
He said the suspects were arrested around 10.30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 23, at Omole Estate, Phase 1, after their victim raised an alarm.
“The suspects, while operating in a Toyota Camry car, with registration number KSF 608 GH, would disguise as driver and passengers.
“They pick unsuspecting passengers and start discussions about some dollars purportedly kept in the boot,” he said.
The spokesman said further investigations discovered that the criminals had been in the business since January.
Hundeyin confirmed that the suspects had since been arraigned.
