The Police Command in Enugu State on Wednesday said it had arrested suspected fraudsters who specialised in swindling Enugu residents of money and other valuables.
The police also said that it recovered fake currencies of some foreign countries, some juju (black magic) box and other suspected shrine materials from the suspects.
SP Ebere Amaraizu, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Command, said in a statement that the suspects were arrested on Tuesday, adding that were from Ijebu-Igbo in Ogun.
He noted that the feat was achieved by operatives of Anti-Cultism Unit of the command who acted on intelligent information.
Amaraizu said: “A syndicate of suspected fraudsters that specialise in swindling their unsuspecting victims of money and valuables have been nabbed at Ukwuoji axis of Emene in Enugu metropolis.
“It was, however, gathered that the alleged fraudsters, usually masquerade as herbalists to swindle their victims of money and other valuables.’’
Amaraizu said that the suspects had been helping police operatives in their investigations.
