“Amotekun operatives sprang into action immediately after a report was filed and the suspect arrested at his hideout.
“Ismail presented a forged receipt, claiming he bought the land from Mogaji’s family, but later confessed to forging the receipt and documents. The Mogaji family produced the original receipt, confirming Ismail’s dishonesty,” Omoyele said.
Omoyele called on Osun residents to be extremely careful and vigilant when buying landed properties from people not to fall victims of fraud.
He however said the suspect has been transferred to the Police for further interrogation and prosecution.
