Police arraign two over ₦11m farmland fraud in Ogun

The Ogun State Police Command has concluded investigations into a ₦11m farmland fraud case involving two suspects, who are set to be arraigned before the Federal High Court in Abeokuta. The suspects, Oluwaseyi Oluwatosin Olaleye and Tirisimiyu Balogun, are accused of advance fee fraud, money laundering, and criminal conspiracy. The case stems from a transaction in which the petitioner, Kazeem Olanrewaju, allegedly paid ₦11m for 20 acres of cocoa and kola nut farmland, but the land was never transferred to him and the money was not refunded.

One of the suspects, Olaleye, fled to Osun State to evade arrest but was later apprehended. The command emphasizes that the suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
