A 26-year-old 400-Level student of Computer Science undergraduate,
Ademola Adebayo, who allegedly lured and defrauded seven ladies he met
on Facebook, by uploading some rich pictures and asking his victims to
meet him at a location, usually a hotel on the pretext that he had deals
for them, has been arrested by the police in Lagos State
According to a report by Punch Metro, when the ladies showed up at
the agreed location after they were lured on the pretext that the
student frauster had deals for them, the suspect would dispose them of
their phones and other valuables.
Police alleged that Adebayo who was arrested by the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja, where one of the victims reported the matter,
worked with an accomplice, a 35-year-old Toheeb Fetuga, who had also
been arrested.
Confessing his crimes to correspondents, Adebayo said that he had defrauded seven ladies of their valuables.
“One of the ladies I defrauded was Rita. She came to a hotel in
the Oyingbo area. We had met on Facebook and I agreed to do a deal with
her. She was a woman willing to have a s*xual affair with me for money.
“I invited her to the hotel and asked how much she would take.
She said $1,000, and I said it was okay. I collected her phone. I asked
her to come for the money at a hotel in the Victoria Island area. So,
she believed me and left.
“I checked the contacts on her phone and that was where I got
the contacts of other ladies I defrauded. I was trying to lure another
friend of hers when I was arrested. I have done it to seven ladies. I
usually meet the young women on Facebook, and it is either I add them or
they add me.
“I usually uploaded rich pictures on Facebook, which attracted
them to me. Fetuga was the one I usually gave the valuables to sell. He
sold each of the phones for N6,000,” he said.
Fetuga, on the other hand, said although Adebayo brought the phones
to him, the undergraduate lied to him that the owners were badly in
need of money.
“He came to me that he wanted to sell the phones. When I asked
him where he got the phones from, he said some ladies in his school were
in need of money to complete their projects and examinations.
“He had come about seven times and I gave him about N6,000 for
each of the phones. We usually met at different places. He would call
and say we should transact business,” he said.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said investigations were ongoing into the matter.
