An aide to popular Nollywood actor, Yinka Quadri, Oluwafemi Lawrence Oyedokun is in the police net for fraud running into millions.
Oluwafemi alongside his girlfriend, Rebecca Oyebode, and his friend, Oyewunmi Abiodun Ridwan was arrested for impersonation.
They were arrested for impersonating veteran Juju music artist, King Sunny Ade to defraud many by opening fake social media accounts with ID @kingsunnyademusic to advertise a fake U.S and U.K musical tour.
It was reported by NewsmakersNG that Oluwafemi has noted Yinka Quadri has no involvement in all these as it was further gathered that he raked in millions by impersonating King Sunny Ade.
Reacting to the arrest, King Sunny Ade said;
“People were always calling my number that they heard I was organising a tour. When it was getting too much for me, I had to call the police who helped me. People were thinking I was the one doing it, and I’ve never done anything like that in my life. I’m a law-abiding citizen of this country. I came to the CP and he promised to investigate.”
Oyedokun who dropped out of Osun State College of Education, Ilesha, in his second year as an English and political science student and once ran a blog named Hip-hop Gist, said he started impersonating KSA in March 2018, allegedly opened several bank accounts and detectives have so far traced a total of N3,111,175 obtained from 61 victims. They also uncovered cash inflows ranging from 22 to 33 victims in a day, even as the suspects are in detention.
