The Ogun State Police Command has concluded investigations into an alleged ₦11 million farmland fraud, with two suspects set to be arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abeokuta on Wednesday. The suspects, 44-year-old Oluwaseyi Oluwatosin Olaleye and 67-year-old Tirisimiyu Balogun, are accused of engaging in advance fee fraud, money laundering, and criminal conspiracy.
The case stems from a petition filed by Kazeem Olanrewaju, who claims he was defrauded of 20 acres of cocoa and kola nut farmland. According to the police, the suspects, along with another individual, allegedly received ₦11 million from Olanrewaju under the pretense of purchasing the farmland in Alawaya Village, Ehin Osun, via Ijebu-Igbo.
The investigation revealed that the money was used for personal gain, and the promised farmland was never transferred to Olanrewaju or refunded to him.
