Suspected members of a transnational fraud syndicate arrested by personnel of the Ogun State Police Command have claimed that their activities in Nigeria were coordinated by a Malaysian national who operated entirely online.
They claimed that all members of the network worked under the directive of the Malaysian national, whom none of them had met physically.
The spokesperson for the command, Oluseyi Babaseyi, had in a statement on Monday stated that the suspects, arrested in the Agbado area of Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, were allegedly involved in a networking scheme known as “Ignite,” through which foreign nationals were lured into the country with promises of wealth and business opportunities.
Babaseyi revealed that the group allegedly recruited victims from several African countries and persuaded them to pay for products that never arrived, while encouraging them to bring in more members into the network.
