Two self-proclaimed Islamic clerics, Saheed Aremu and Tolani Osuolale, have been arrested and arraigned for allegedly defrauding a medical doctor of N280 million.

The suspects claimed to have the spiritual power to multiply the doctor’s money through rituals.

According to reports, the medical doctor was approached by the suspects who promised to perform spiritual rituals on his money to increase its value.

The doctor, believing their claims, handed over N280 million to the suspects.

However, instead of multiplying the money, the suspects allegedly absconded with the funds.

The police launched an investigation into the matter after the medical doctor reported the incident.

Following a thorough investigation, the police tracked down and arrested the suspects.

They were subsequently arraigned in court for their alleged roles in the scam.

The suspects were charged with conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretenses.

During the court proceedings, the prosecution presented evidence of the suspects’ alleged involvement in the scam.

The judge adjourned the case to allow the defense to present their arguments.

The medical doctor, who was defrauded of N280 million, has been left traumatized by the experience.

The loss of such a large sum of money has likely had a significant impact on his financial stability and reputation.

This incident highlights the importance of being vigilant and cautious when dealing with individuals who make promises that seem too good to be true.

It is essential to verify the authenticity of such claims and to be aware of the potential risks involved.

The arrest and arraignment of the self-proclaimed Islamic clerics serve as a warning to others who engage in similar scams.
