Segun Adeyefa
Operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of Lagos State Police
Command, on routine patrol of Ikorodu Motor Park, last night arrested a
teenage criminal identified as Segun Adeyefa, 18, who specializes in
selling bar of soaps to unsuspecting people. He confessed that before he
was caught, he had already duped one person of N3,500.
He said: “My action was prompted when I was swindled by two
guys about a year ago by this way. That very moment I promised myself to
revenge. I learnt that tactics by understudying the material. The item
contained cut-to-size soap, carton and wrapped all together with a cello
tape.
"What I usually do is called exchange. My prospective victims
will have the mind of buying handset from me but unknowingly to them I
would have changed the real handset to soap wrapped with cut to size
carton put inside an envelope.
"I will engage them in discussion after showing them real phone
initially, and in the process of bargaining for the price, I will
change it. And, I will tell them to keep the phone inside their pockets
immediately that people are watching us.”
