Two Nigerian men have been arrested by the police in Lagos.

They were arrested in the Ikorodu area of Lagos, for allegedly defrauding a woman of N7.5m with the promise of spiritual assistance.

The Lagos State Police Command spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, announced this via his verified Twitter handle on Sunday.

He stated that they were arrested while attempting to get more money from the victim.

Hundeyin wrote, “In Ikorodu, these two duped a woman to the tune of N7.5m under the guise of providing ‘spiritual help.’

"She realised the fraud and approached the police. They were apprehended when they arranged to get another batch of funds from her. Investigation is ongoing.”
