Us Citizen Woman Is Saved By Kwara Police From Yahoo Guy.

Awoleye Oluwatofunmi, a 23-year-old Nigerian Yahoo boy who is accused of defrauding an American, Vonapolouis Moss, of $1,000, has been detained by the Police Command in Kwara.

This information was provided by the state’s police commissioner, CP. Paul Odama, on Friday when the suspect was being paraded before media at the police headquarters in Ilorin.

He said the suspect tricked the victim out of $1,000 by posing as an American on the social media app TikTok under the name Howard Adams.

The suspect allegedly went one step further, enticing the victim to travel into Nigeria on January 9, 2023, through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, according to the CP.

He said that the victim arrived in Ilorin the next day by plane and was met by the suspect before the latter was apprehended on the basis of useful information.

Before being rescued by police officers, the suspect allegedly deceitfully stole from the victim an undefined sum of money.

He went on to say that the proper authorities had been informed for future action.

The State Police Command has transferred the victim into safe custody in the meantime while she is being transported back to the US.

According to the CP, “the command would continue to carry out its responsibilities with a full sense of responsibility and be prepared to protect the rights of every person at all times.”
