The arrest took place on May 17 at approximately 11:45 a.m., following a report that earlier that day at around 8 a.m., the suspect visited a food vendor at Owolanwa Junction, Agbado.

The Command’s spokesperson, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed the arrest to journalists, stating that preliminary investigations revealed the suspect had been operating a consistent pattern of fake and scheduled transfer scams across Agbado and neighboring areas, targeting unsuspecting members of the public.
