Operatives of the Delta State Police Command have arrested suspects who scammed an unsuspecting victim of N1.5m.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, on X on Tuesday, the suspects deceived the victim by claiming to have seen a bright future for him.
Sharing a video of the victim, Edafe wrote, “This chap was scammed over N1.5m by some suspects who claimed that they saw a bright future for him.
“They took him to a river in Osun State all in a bid to extract more money from him.
“The victim reported to the police when he realised what was happening. They were promptly arrested.”
In a video shared by Edafe, the victim explained that one of the suspects approached him, claiming to have seen a bright future around him, and requested that he purchase coconut and salt.
The victim stated in part, “A day came when one guy saw me. He said that he saw a bright future around me, He said there is one thing he is going to do for me.
“He said I should buy coconut and salt, and that I will give him the coconut and he will take it to three junctions to pray for me.”
