The Police Command in Lagos State has apprehended 10 members of a syndicate for allegedly defrauding unsuspecting victims of millions of naira.
According to police sources the suspects, comprising five females and five males, allegedly lured fellow Cameroonians to Nigeria with promises of securing visas, work permits and residency documents for destinations such as Mauritius, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. Victims were made to pay huge sums of money for the purported travel arrangements, but rather found themselves stuck in Nigeria, and used to lure others.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Tijani, directed that the case be transferred from the Egbada Tactical Unit to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba, for further investigation.
According to the police command, the suspects would be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
