Ogun Police arrest 23 foreigners over Ponzi visa scam
The Ogun State Police Command has reportedly arrested 23 foreign nationals over their alleged involvement in a Ponzi and visa-related scam in the state.
The suspects were reportedly taken into custody following an investigation into activities believed to involve fraudulent investment schemes and the alleged processing or facilitation of visas.
Police operatives are expected to investigate the organisation’s operations, including how it allegedly recruited victims, collected money and promised financial or immigration-related benefits.
The arrest highlights continuing concerns over fraudulent schemes that target Nigerians and other residents with promises of quick financial returns or opportunities to travel abroad.
The suspects are expected to assist investigators in establishing the extent of the alleged operation and identifying other individuals who may have been involved.
Police authorities are also expected to determine whether additional victims or accomplices are connected to the case.
The suspects remain presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. Further details are expected as the investigation continues and the police provide more information about the alleged Ponzi and visa scam.
