Joshua Olawuyi, a suspected internet fraudster, was taken into custody by operatives of the Zone 2 Police Command in Onikan, Lagos. He is accused of reportedly obtaining a vehicle by deceitful means and stealing N30 million.

In a statement released on Thursday in Lagos, the Zonal Public Relations Officer, SP. Umma Ayuba, verified the arrest.

She stated after receiving a petition from the petitioner, the command, led by Mr. Olatoye Durosinmi, Assistant Inspector-General of Police, arrested the suspect.

“Based on a petition received from Adesuwa Ogizie, a female US-based licensed car dealer; sometimes in 2016, Olawuyi contacted her to purchase a Mercedes Benz GLE 350 valued at N30 million.

“Olawuyi deceived her, stating that he had instructed his brother Jude Hanslem to make payment on his behalf.

“After the vehicle was delivered to the suspect in Nigeria, the petitioner discovered that the money paid into her account was the proceeds of fraud,” she said.

Ayuba said that a team of detectives attached to Zonal Anti-Kidnapping Unit Zone 2 command, led by SP Abass Gadzama (O/C ZAKU), swung into action and apprehended the suspect.

“The suspect was arrested, and he volunteered his statement where he confessed to the crime.

“He claimed he was into internet fraud at the time he committed the offence and that the Mercedes Benz GLE 350 has been sold and the proceeds converted, “he said.

According to Ayuba, the investigation is still ongoing, more information will be shared, and when it is completed, the suspect will face the appropriate charges. (NAN)
