An undergraduate student of the National Open University of Nigeria, Osogbo Study Centre, by name Olusola Akinlotan, has been arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for alleged fraud.
Akinlotan, who was nabbed with two other accomplices was said to have abandoned his studies at the university and ran when the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) came for him.
He however ran out of luck when he went to School last Monday to transfer his study to another location outside the state not knowing that the men of the NSCDC were waiting for him. He then led them to the other suspects.
According to a statement from the Osun State Command of the NSCDC, the suspects, allegedly duped an Enugu based businessman, Nnamchi Nichodemus, of a sum of N700,000 through a dubious travelling transaction in November 2014.
The businessman was said to have been tricked into paying the said money into an account belonging to Akinlotan who was promised a sum of N105,000.
The NOUN student was said to have immediately gone to the bank to collect the money through the Automatic Teller Machine and the counter while he handed over the balance to Oladayo for onward transmission to Adebayo a.k.a Dodo.
Three of them have been handed over to the EFCC for further investigations and prosecution.
