Later on, the suspect took a bold step by luring the victim to fly into Nigeria on January 9, 2023, through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

Commissioner Paul Odama also confirmed that the victim flew into Ilorin the following day after her arrival at the airport, and was received by Oluwatofunmi, the suspect, before he was arrested by the operatives.

Stonix News gathered that before his arrest, the suspect allegedly took an unspecified amount of dollars from the victim, before she was rescued by policemen.

The victim has been moved to an undisclosed location pending her return to the United States.

“The command would continue to discharge its duties with a full sense of responsibility and be willing at all times to respect the rights of every citizen.

“The necessary authorities have been contacted for appropriate action,” Odama said.
