POLICEMEN ON THE TRAIL OF FRAUDSTERS WITH JONATHAN/SAMBO FOUNDATION

Officers attached to the XSquad Unit of the Lagos State police command are on the trail of six men for allegedly duping hundreds of unsuspecting members of the public with a fraudulent Foundation purportedly owned jointly by President Goodluck Jonathan and his Vice, Architect. Nmandi Sambo. Officers attached to the Ketu Division had stormed the fake Goodluck/Sambo Foundation at Number 15 Oluwalogbon Street, Ikosi, following a complaint by two victims Bola Olaleke and Florence Adebisi, who had gone to the station on February 26th alleging that the Foundation had defrauded them of N1000 each but later charged N3000. The police gave the names of the suspects on their wanted list as Dr. Chris Ajakaiye, Atanda Johnson, Morenike Folarin, Ademola Atanda, Soledayo Akinnubunmi and John Ajagbe:Mr. Ajagbe is said to be the leader of the gang and with others are said to be on the run. According to the police, the suspects set up the Foundation in 2010 towards the 2011 General election which they used to fleece people to become members of the PDP supporters club campaigning for election. Residents said most of the victims were not residents of Ketu but were lured due to their desperation to make quick money. The police stated that victims were asked to pay N1000 for registration fees which were subsequently increased to N3000. It was gathered that the suspects later changed the name of the Foundation to “Vision Relief Programme in 2012. A police source said the suspects fleeced over N12m from the victims before the crime was exposed.
