A woman seeking spiritual guidance loses N7.5 million to scammers.

Two suspected fraudsters have been detained, according to the Lagos State Police Command, after they allegedly defrauded an unnamed woman in the Ikorodu neighborhood of the state of N7.5 million.

In a tweet posted on Sunday, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police public relations officer, stated that the suspects committed the crime while pretending to be the woman's spiritual advisers.
He explained that when the police quickly intervened and apprehended the perpetrators, they were just about to steal another tranche of money from the victim.

Hundeyin wrote, “In Ikorodu, these two duped a woman to the tune of N7.5m under the guise of providing ‘spiritual help’. She realised the fraud and approached the police. They were apprehended when they arranged to get another batch of funds from her. Investigation is ongoing.”
It is expected that the suspects be taken to court as soon as the police conclude their investigation into the matter.
