The police operatives in Lagos has began search for a young man said to be a wire transfer fraud expert over attack on two of his cahoots.
The suspect whose name was simply given as Olamide, is being wanted by the police operatives following a written petition sent to the police as mastermind of attack on his patners in the ignoble business by street urchins also known as ‘area boys’ in highbrow area of Lekki.
Sources close to the matter said Olamide, a frequent guest of security agents over his fraudulent escapedes, was said to have asked the urchins to attack and brutalized his cahoots who came to ask him for their share of a deal.
The international fraudster with solid connections with top security agents was last year arrested by operatives of the Inspector-general of Police Intelligence Response Team in Abuja . He then had three of his cars worth over N1.2billion impounded and parked at area F Police headquarters for safe keeping. The vehicles were released to him after he settled the guy who dragged him before IRT operatives .
While the police are on his manhunt, the source disclosed that his wife who was arrested in connection with her husband fraudlent activities has since been released even as the husband refused to show up.
A close associate of the fraudster told Newstower.ng that the young man now disguises
with diplomatic vehicle in order to invade arrest.
“Olamide, a 29 years old fraudster has over 15 houses between Ikoyi and Ogombo. He is always a guest of security agents, but very smart in ‘settling’ these agents. However, he’s a wicked alec when it comes to treating his patners in ‘yahoo yaoo’ fairly” said a cahoot close to the fraudster.
