While they were holding an unwilling victim hostage, Rapid Response Squad (RRS) agents in Idumota, Lagos, captured three fraudsters.
The victim, a 23-year-old woman (name withheld), was traveling from Gerard Road Ikoyi to Iyana Oworo. She got into the suspects’ BDG 513 EJ-registered Volkswagen Vento salon car, but was then carried against her will to Idumota.
The three suspects, Austin Okoro ‘m’ aged 47, ring leader, Godwin Asezour ‘m’ aged 54 and Susan Elohor ‘f’ aged 42, while on the diversion, attempted to swindle their victim by ostensibly introducing her to their alleged money-doubling business.
The victim, however, sighted an RRS patrol team at Idumota and successfully raised the alarm to their hearing, which led to the prompt arrest of the suspects.
The suspects have since been charged to court following completion of investigation by the CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi-led RRS.
