  • Men of the Ogun state police command have arrested an impersonator for fraud.

  • The suspect was said to have defrauded a POS operator in the state.

The Ogun state police command have confirmed the arrest of one Bukola Olabode, 25, for impersonation and fraud.

According to reports, the suspect is said to be notorious in fraud, as he allegedly defrauded Point of Sale operators and residents of Ihunbo in the Ipokia Local Government Area while impersonating a police officer.

According to Punch, Bukola usually clad himself in a police camouflage shirt and jeans before committing fraudulent transactions using POS machines.

However, he met his Waterloo when he attempted a similar fraudulent act at the PoS stand of an operator named Mary Midoyin.

When his deception was spotted, he attempted to flee the scene but was pursued and apprehended by residents.

The Ogun state police command revealed that the suspect was apprehended on Tuesday, and subsequently handed over to officers of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, who later transferred him to the police at the Idiroko Division.

Odutola said,

“The suspect was dressed in a police camouflage shirt, cap, and jeans when he committed the crime. Upon realising his cover had been blown, he quickly made a fake transfer to Mary Midoyin, a PoS operator, and collected N60,000 before fleeing the scene.

Residents pursued and apprehended the suspect, handing him over to the NSCDC office in Ihunbo before he was transferred to the Idiroko Police Division. He has since confessed to defrauding PoS operators in the community.

 

“A Samsung phone, a black Itel phone used for the fraud, and a police constabulary warrant card were recovered from the suspect. Additionally, a round-neck T-shirt was found in his possession. He has since been detained.”
