Alhaji Musa Araokanmi
A dubious man who claimed to be a member of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) and on this false pretense collected the sum of one million four hundred thousand naira from one Halimot Olorunlomeru is now in police net.
The self acclaimed PCRC member, Alhaji Musa Araokanmi collected the sum from Halimot under the pretence that he will assist her to get auctioned car and motorcycles from the police auction sales.
The suspect, according to a press release by SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Police Public Relations Officer in Ogun State, was arrested following a complaint lodged at Ago Iwoye Divisional Headquarters by the victim,Halimot who reported that the suspect introduced himself to her as a member of PCRC and that he was in charge of Police auction sales.
She stated further that the suspect advised her to deposit the sum of #1.4 million with him to get a very good car and motorcycles from Police auction sales.
Since he collected the said amount on June 2020, he has been on the run and efforts to locate him proved abortive, until he was recently sighted at Ago iwoye.
On the strength of the complaint, the DPO Ago Iwoye Division, SP Noah Adekanye detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspect was arrested.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect has never been a member of PCRC anywhere in Ogun state as he claimed.
He has also confessed to the commission of the crime and the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has directed an in-depth investigation into the suspect’s past activities, with the view to arraign him in court as soon as possible.
