According to a statement from the Ondo

the syndicate had, sometime in April 2015,
requested six i-phones valued at Nine
Hundred and Eighty Four Thousand Naira
(N984,000:00k) from Ajiboye Adeyinka Kabir
of No. 3, Oyekunle Street, Ajegunle, Lagos
State. They lied to Ajiboye that they were
working at Government House, Akure.
“Ajiboye brought the six i-phones to Akure
as requested by the syndicate on
10/5/2015. On arrival at Ondo garage
Akure, the three fraudsters took him in
their operational vehicle, a Nissan Armanda
Jeep with Registration Number JS-28-EKY,
and pretended to be heading for
Government House, Akure.
“On the way, they made a detour to
Fiwasaye-Ijapo Road, Akure where they
forcefully took the I-phones from Ajiboye,
and pushed him out of the vehicle in
motion. Ajiboye sustained various degrees
of injuries and was rushed by Policemen at
Ijapo Division to the Police Clinic, Akure for
immediate medical attention.

Thousand Naira (N820,000:00k).
“They again lied that they were lecturers at
the Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin. On

16:30hrs, they conveyed Akinola in their
