Operatives of the Ondo State Police Command have arrested a 33-year-old woman, Adejoke Ayomide, over an alleged N42.3m visa scam.
The command’s spokesperson, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, saying the suspect allegedly defrauded over 90 people by posing as a travel consultant capable of securing visas to Spain, Portugal, and France.
Jimoh said Ayomide, who resides on Adesoye Street, Abeokuta, Ogun State, was arrested following a petition submitted to the command by a law firm, Akindayomi Oluwa Tobi & Associates.
According to the police, the suspect allegedly received N42,326,000 through her OPay account from victims who paid for visa processing to Europe.
He said the suspect became unreachable after receiving the money, prompting the victims to report the matter to the police.
