A 54-year-old, who claimed to be a professor of Animal Husbandry at the University of Ibadan, has been arrested by the Oyo State Police Command after he fraudulently collected N1m from a man under the pretext of manufacturing animal multivitamins for him.<\/p>\n
The state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, said the suspect, Olayinka Emmanuel, acted in connivance with an accomplice, Adegoke Adewumi, 53, to obtain the sum from Kolawole Kamorudeen.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe duo lied to the victim that they were manufacturers of animal multivitamins. Believing them, the suspect parted with the sum only to later discover that the so-called multivitamins supplied to him were grinded green beans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect told police during investigation that the label was printed somewhere in the Oluwole area of Lagos State.<\/p>\n
\u201cFour cartons of the green beans branded as multivitamin were recovered in the course of investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Accomplice of the fake professor, Adewumi, said he went into the business in order to make ends meet because he was jobless.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe actually used animal supplement to produce the vitamin, but we added green beans to improve the quantity for more money. I am jobless and that is why I went into the business. The professor is my boss,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
