P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspects were the native doctor, Akingbola Omotayo, Adeola Funsho Ogunrinde, Yahaya Amodu, Kubratu Babalola Olaitan (female) and Familola Sunday Olaitan.
They were arrested on December 7 and 8, 2025 at their shrines in Osun and Lagos States respectively during coordinated operations.
Apart from being in possession of the counterfeit currencies, they were also claimed to possess some spiritual powers which they used to defraud innocent victims under false pretence.
Their arrest was made following a thorough surveillance and intelligence on their fraudulent activities after swindling a woman, Halima Sanni, to the tune of the sum of N26, 550, 000.
EFCC investigation revealed that the suspects were allegedly defrauding unsuspecting individuals of their legitimate earnings under the pretence of providing spiritual cleansing and solutions to different ailments.
They also allegedly assured their victims of their powers to conjure several currency notes which must be cleaned up through spiritual sacrifice before spending the money. They did all these by hypnotizing their victims to provide money for the sacrifice and obtaining huge sums of money from victims. One of the victims, Halima Sanni, fell into their trap as they reportedly hypnotized and swindled her of the money in question.
The matter was reported to the EFCC. The operatives moved into action, arrested the suspects and detained them in their custody for interrogation and further investigation.
The EFCC also recovered other items including two exotic cars and mobile phones stolen from the victims as exhibits.
According to the EFCC, the suspects will be charged before the Court for their alleged criminal conduct but that will be after the conclusion of investigations by the EFCC.
