Spokesperson of the command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi in a statement said the suspects, Kehinde Saliu Jelili aka Oluomo; Abiodun Akinola, Johnson Fakeye and Jamiu Akinola were all arrested following a complaint lodged at Onipanu divisional headquarters on the 18th of April, 2021.
The complaint was made by one Aanu Salaudeen.
She said she was a POS attendant to one Abiodun Odebunmi and that her boss left his office at Aparadija the previous day, to meet a customer with N4 million to be used for POS transaction.
She stated further that the said Odebunmi has not been seen since then, and that all calls made to his line had not gone through.
According to her, they had earlier carried out a transaction of N1.5 million with the person who invited his boss the previous day, and that it was the same person, who called his boss to meet him at Ojuore to do another POS transaction of N4 million.
“Upon the report, the policemen at Onipanu commenced investigation into the sudden disappearance of the man.
