Members of a five-man gang, who allegedly posed as real estate agents, have been arrested by the operatives of the Rapid Respond Squad of the Lagos State Police Command.
It was gathered that the suspects, Abolade Oladimeji, 43; Ademola Ayo, 45; Emmanuel Fabiyi, 65; Ademola Hakeem, 49; and 52-year-old Sunday Ayodele were arrested in the Lekki Phase II area of the state when they wanted to lease out a duplex to an accommodation seeker, one Mr Obi, for the sum of N4.5m.
In his confessional statement to the police, Hakeem stated that in early September, he posted the said property, which attracted many people, among whom was the accommodation seeker. “Ademola Ayo was in charge of taking clients for house or land inspection. Emmanuel Fabiyi, the eldest among us, played the role of a principal agent and sometimes acted as the site engineer, while Sunday Ayodele assisted Fabiyi to make him look like a big man, who is well-groomed and seasoned in the business.
“I am a shame to my family as an elder in the church and a grandpa. My children warned me to desist from fraud after I was arrested last year, but I didn’t listen to them.”
