A self-acclaimed Alfa, Alhaji Ibrahim Ahamido,
has been arrested by the Maroko Police Division
in the Lekki area of Lagos State for allegedly
defrauding a trader identified as Moses Sarah.
The victim was sometime in December, 2015,
introduced to Ahamido in a restaurant in Lekki
and Ahamido was said to have boasted he had
special powers that could make him multiply
money after prayers.
The 47-year-old Alfa on February 22, 2016, had
collected N350, 000 from Sarah and had
promised to boost her business by turning the
money to N5m. He, however, absconded with the
money, after allegedly giving his girlfriend, Musa
Hawa, part of the money (N100, 000), The Punch
reports.
According to a source, “The woman initially did
not believe. So, he promised to help her bring
out her child, who at the time was arrested by
the police for an offence he committed. He
prepared some concoction for her, and just like
that, the woman’s son was released.
“Sarah was immediately convinced and she
trusted him,” the source disclosed, adding that
she later asked him for help concerning her
business, which was not doing well.”
The suspect reportedly asked her to give him the
N350, 000 so he could turn it to N5m.
Sarah said she believed him and gave him the
money.

She said, “I told him I would be travelling to
Ghana in December 2015, and I would return in
January 2016. He gave me something to put
under my pillow. He said when I return from my
trip, I should check the pillow and the N5m
would be there.
“When I returned, I checked under the pillow, but
I did not see any money. I called him to inform
him, and he said it was my fault because I did
not come back on time.
“He said the money came out from the container
he gave me, but when I did not pack it on time, it
went back. He then asked me to pay another N9,
000 so that he could make another charm to
repair the damage.
“It was after I gave him the money and he
disappeared that I knew I was dealing with a
fraudster,” the victim added.
She, however, reported the case to the police,
and after a manhunt, Ahamido was arrested.
On his part, the suspect said he did not mean to
dupe the trader.
He said he tried to multiply the money, but the
charm failed.
“I did not collect up to N350, 000 from her. She
even gave me the money in bits. The total is
N150, 000,” Ahamido stated, adding that he gave
his girlfriend, Hawa, N100, 000 to renew their
love.
“I will refund the money since her blood was not
compatible with the prayers.”
Meanwhile, Hawa denied collecting N100, 000
from him.
She said, “I came to Lagos about 15 years ago.
It was about three months ago that Alhaji came
to me and said he wanted to date me.
“Three days later, he bought a wrapper for me. I
did not know where he got it from. When he
continued buying me more wrappers, I suspected
something was wrong and I started keeping them
so that if a police case arose, I would be able to
defend myself.
“He bought me only four wrappers. He never
gave me any N100, 000,” Hawa stressed.
The police, however at the weekend, arraigned
the duo before an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court on
two counts of obtaining under false pretences.
The police prosecutor, Sergeant Cyriacus Osuji,
said the offences were punishable under
sections 409 and 312 of the Criminal Law of
Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011.
The charge read in part, “That you, Ibrahim
Ahamido, and Musa Hawa, on February 22, 2016,
at Marwa Waterside, Lekki, Lagos, in the Eti-osa
Local Government Area, in the Lagos Magisterial
District, did obtain by false pretences the sum of
N350, 000 from one Moses Sarah, with the
pretence of making more money for her.”
Ahamido pleaded guilty to the charge, whereas
his girlfriend, Hawa, said she was not guilty.
In her ruling, the magistrate, Mrs. J.O.A.
Adepoju, admitted her to bail in the sum of N100,
000 with two sureties in like sum.
Adepoju adjourned the matter till March 2 for
further hearing.
