The police in Lagos have declared wanted a man whose stock-in-trade is
using his three wives who pose as witches to defraud unsuspecting
victims with false promises of a better future.
The suspect, Awosina Folorunsho and his wives Deborah, Hadiza and
Folake got busted when Moses Okafor, husband of their latest victim,
Helen Okafor trailed his wife to their
hideout at Sango Ota in Ogun State.
She was alleged to have paid more than N10 million to the syndicate before her husband got wind of their activities.
Despite alleged death threats, Moses summoned the courage and alerted
the police at the Lagos State command, Ikeja, where operatives of the
Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, were detailed
to storm their hideout in Sango-Ota area
of Ogun State where they arrested one of the wives, Deborah while
Awosina and the other wives fled the compound.
According to the police, their
modus operandi is to advertise in major national
dailies.
As soon as their victims get in touch with them through the phone
numbers on the adverts, they will devise different means including
threat to life to extort money from them.
