How we tricked, hypnotised our victims - Money doublers
By Rotimi Omole


NEMESIS has caught up with two suspected notorious money doublers who were alleged to have wreaked havoc in many homes in Ibadan by extorting money from their victims. The suspects, Muyiwa Olanrewaju and one Idowu Dada, were already guests of the police at the Iyaganku Police station where they are currently being interrogated for their roles in many reported cases of money doublings in many parts of Ibadan.


The duo were among the robbery suspects paraded recently by the police in their quest to reduce crime rate in the state. While explaining to newsmen how his men were able to pull the rug off the suspects’ feet, the state Police Commissioner Mr. Udom Ekpoudom, stated that one Bola Makinde had alerted his men that some people had just duped her of a large sum of money and that they also claimed to have huge sums of dollars allegedly stolen from their boss, a white man. According to him, “My men immediately swooped on the suspects in Beere area and recovered the money with some fake dollar notes allegedly used to trick their victims. However, in a chat with Crime File, the suspects who claimed to be herbalists in Beere area of Ibadan confessed that they had been in the business for over three years and that they have been duping their victims successfully before the bubble bust last Tuesday.


When asked how they played a fast one on their victims, Muyiwa stated “since we are herbalists, we always hypnotised our victims when they call on us to help them to get rich; we simply asked them to bring certain amount of money for money making rituals, we thereafter played on their intelligence by showing them some fake dollar notes and crispy new naira notes; when they see the new notes, they will rush back home to borrow more money for that purpose, after collecting the money, we will relocate to a remote area where our victims will not be able to locate us”. Muyiwa also told Crime File that they also met their prospective victims while chatting with them inside buses or cabs where they introduced such business to them after hypnotising them during their discussions.


While describing them as evil men who had wreaked havoc in many homes, Ekpoudom told newsmen that the duo would soon be charged to court.
