The Oyo State Police Command have arrested two suspected
fraudsters, Taiwo Salami (39) and Kamorudeen Amusat (63), who hypnotised a
sales girl and collected the N1.4 million her boss sent her to deposit in a
bank. They raped her multiple times after hypnotizing her and then collected
the money found on her.
Parading the suspects before newsmen yesterday Thursday June
13th, the state Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu, said the victim (names
withheld), was sent by her boss on May 6th at about 11:30 a.m. to deposit N1.4
million at a bank in Dugbe area of the city.
“On her way, she was accosted by one of the suspects, Taiwo
Salami, who hypnotised her, and having lost her senses, she was taken to an
abandoned house at Inalende area of the city, where the cash was collected from
her, while the suspects also inflicted several injuries on her. On May 8th, the victim’s family members
reported her disappearance at the divisional police headquarters at Mokola. She
was later rescued and taken to the hospital for medical attention.
“The case was then transferred to the State Criminal
Investigation Department, and on June 7th, following a tip-off, the suspects
were arrested around Eleyele, and upon interrogation, they confessed to the
crime,” Olukolu said.
One of the suspects, Salami, said when he saw the victim, he
sensed she had money and that was how he approached her and hyponotised her.
“She then followed me to Inalende area, where she was kept
in a room in an abandoned building and the money collected from her.”
The police commissioner said the suspects would be charged
to court upon conclusion of investigation into their crime.
