Police in Toronto, Canada have arrested two Nigerians believed to be
involved in a $10 million fraud ring.
The two fraudsters lived a “high-profile lifestyle of conspicuous
consumption” supported by the proceeds of criminal activities, police
announced on Tuesday.
“Thousands of individuals across the greater Toronto area have had
their information compromised,” said Detective-Constable Mike Kelly.
According to Mr. Kelly, unsuspecting victims have collectively lost an
estimated $10 million.

$39,000 in cash, hundreds of pieces of stolen mail, and several
notebooks containing personal information of at least 5,000
residents of the greater Toronto area.
The evidence was discovered on April 24 during a raid of a
condominium owned by Adekunle Johnson Omitiran, 37.
Mr. Omitiran turned himself in on April 27 and will face charges of
fraud, identity theft, trafficking identity information, possession of
credit cards obtained by crime, possession of proceeds of crime, and
failure to comply with probation at court on May 19, according to The
Star.
Another Nigerian-Canadian, Adedayo Ogundana, 45, was arrested in
December 2016 in connection with the same Toronto crime
syndicate. He was charged with 12 counts of fraud, identity theft,
possession of stolen credit cards, and possession of the proceeds of
crime.
The Toronto Sun reports that police have issued an arrest warrant
for Duro Akintola, 44, a Toronto local. Emmanuel Salako, 47, is
wanted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in Chicago for his involvement in fraud
