Babatunde Adekunle, a fraudster, was apprehended by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps in Kwara State Command for switching an elderly man’s ATM card and using it to take N1.8 million from the man’s account.
Umar Mohammed, the state commandant of the NSCDC, led Adekunle and six other suspects into a parade after they were arrested at Oloru in the state’s Moro Local Government Area with two trucks with railroad slippers.
