Iya Osun) whom she met on Facebook in the course of her search for solutions to her health challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat drew her to Augustina was the latter\u2019s post under the name, Osunbukola Olamitutu Spriritual Healing Centre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce she contacted Augustina, the latter promised to heal her only if she pays N16million. The victim paid the money through an Access Bank account belonging to Mohammed Sani, who later turned out to be a Bureau De Change Operator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter paying the money without receiving healing, Augustina passed the victim on to other members of the syndicate, notably Awise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJuliet revealed that she met Awise at his shrines in Ashipa Town and was hypnotised and subsequently transferred various sum through bank accounts and in cash to the suspect and his syndicate members, until she lost N250million to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dDespite all the monies collected from her, her health conditions never improved. She consequently petitioned the EFCC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.republicanng.com\/efcc-arrest-suspected-juju-scam-kingpin-over-alleged-n250m-fraud-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EFCC<\/a> explained how its operatives intercepted members of the syndicate.<\/p>\n<p>The statement added:\u201d A team from the Foreign Exchange Malpractices Section (FEMS) at EFCC headquarters, on May 21, 2021 arrested both Sani Mohammed and Akinola Bukola Augustina at Egbeda and Abule Egba respectively, in a sting operation Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAugustina, who is currently on administrative bail, later led operatives to the Ashipa Town Shrine of Awise but the latter escaped arrest having got wind of the presence of the commission\u2019s operatives. He was later apprehended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollowing his arrest, the commission has traced and marked a number of assets linked to Awise, believed to be proceeds of his criminal activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe assets include vast land located at Ashipa Town, Abeokuta, Ogun State used as shrine to deceive the complainant to part with her hard-earned resources; a newly renovated filling station named Alaka Oil and Gas located at No.2, Adeneye Street, Oke-Oriya, Ikorodu, Lagos; an uncompleted Event Centre named Alaka Event Centre located at No.2, Adeneye Street, Oke-Oriya, Ikorodu, Lagos; uncompleted blocks of flats located at No.2, Adeneye Street, Oke-Oriya, Ikorodu, Lagos and a newly renovated storey building with boys\u2019 quarters situated at No. 22, PSSDC Road, Magodo Phase 2, Magodo Estate, Lagos.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617809154.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"713\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617809154.jpg 713w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617809154-223x300.jpg 223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617811569.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"641\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617811569.jpg 641w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617811569-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 641px) 100vw, 641px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46255\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617814192.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617814192.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617814192-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617816849.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617816849.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617816849-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617819456.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617819456.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/06\/adejayan_gbenga\/2021\/06\/13\/FB_IMG_1623617819456-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said it has arrested the leader of a deadly syndicate of juju scammers, Abayomi Kamaldeen Alaka (a.k.a Awise) over alleged N250million fraud.
