Lagos Scammers, Rotimi Fisher and Sherif Adebayo, two suspected scammers, are accused of defrauding a 23-year-old woman in Lagos State’s Ipaja neighborhood.
In addition, the woman was allegedly lured by the accused to an unfinished structure on Majiyagbe Street in Ipaja, where Adebayo allegedly sexually assaulted her.
PUNCH Metro discovered that when Fisher asked the victim to assist him in finding an address, she was in route to a location in Iyana Ipaja.
According to the victim, the suspect pretended to be a foreign businessman and informed him that he had come to Nigeria to deliver products to a client at that address and to get his unpaid bills.
According to a source, after Fisher unsuccessfully appealed for assistance, the little girl promised to help, but upon checking the address, she was unable to locate the site.
The source said, “But as the girl was trying to help Fisher, Adebayo suddenly came as a neutral person and offered to assist Fisher, whereas they were working together. Adebayo said the address was fake, but started motivating the girl on the need for them to help Fisher.
“Fisher, while lamenting being stranded, claimed that he was in possession of some papers that could be converted to plenty money but told Adebayo and the girl that he needed money to buy chemicals to convert the papers to money.
“Adebayo quickly dropped N60,000. The girl, who seemed convinced, gave Fisher her gold jewellery and N10,000 and also went to withdraw N65,000 from a nearby ATM and gave it to Fisher, who told Adebayo and the girl to take an oath not to reveal his secret to anyone.”
Fisher said to prevent both of them from dying, they needed to have sex. He also used the oath they took to threaten them. So, the girl out of fear of dying, followed them to an uncompleted building around 9pm on Majiyagbe Street, Ipaja, where Adebayo had sex with her,” the source said.
After the two Lagos scammers, Fisher, 42, and Adebayo, 32, committed the crime on September 3, 2022, Punch Metro learned that the girl fled the unfinished structure and went to the Ipaja Police Station to submit the incident for inquiry. Fisher and Adebayo were purportedly captured by the police on September 16, 2022, in their hideouts in Ipaja after a two-week sting operation supervised by CSP Tokunbo Abaniwonda, the Ipaja Divisional Police Officer.
