The statement said, “Aminat ( Okiribiti) was arrested for an alleged case of conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretences . In a rehash of the old infamous advance fee fraud tactic of spiritual help and solution to all problems, a victim recounted her ordeal in the hands of a syndicate to our operatives, signalling a warning to the public.

“Aminat, alongside other three cohorts still at large, conspired, using the decoy of providing cure and spiritual solution to the health challenges of the victim’ s children and fleeced her of the sum of N 45m    http://punchng.com/efcc-arrests-herbalist-for-n45m-fraud/
