The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 23-year-old man who defrauds ladies through the use of his feminine voice and promises of non available jobs.
According to police, the suspect parades himself as Joseph Sarumi, Akeem Ahmed and Femi, thus it is difficult to know his real name.
The suspect, whose father has a manufacturing company in Lagos and mother an immigration officer, was said to have fooled and defrauded his victims by promising them ushers’ job at the Oriental hotel, where Nigerian ace musician, Lagbaja, was supposedly expected to play.
One of the criterions to get the job was for the girls to come to a particular hotel around Adeniji Adele area with N5,000. They were also expected to hand over their Black Berry phones to Femi, so that he would ‘upload the password’, which would facilitate their entrance into the Oriental Hotel on Victoria Island.
Once the girls hand over the phones, Femi would disappear.
As if collecting their money and phone was not enough, Femi used to convince them to have sex with him.
Detectives said Femi had been getting away with his game for long because he uses a female voice, while speaking with the girls on the phone to fool them.
He had also severally gotten away with the crime until nemesis caught up with him because the victims thought they were speaking with their female friends on the phone, unaware that they were speaking with a total male stranger who had stolen their friends’ phones.
Detectives believe that Femi had duped hundreds of girls, if not thousands, but the suspect insisted that he had barely practiced the scam for three days.
Femi was arrested after one of the victims, Fatima, played the same trick on him.
Some phones have been recovered from him, while some of his victims have stormed Adeniji Adele Police Station, where he was arrested and detained.
He would soon be charged to court.
