Man Re-arrested For Fraud One Week After Serving Time For Drug OffensesA 28-year-old man, Oluwanisola Quadri, has been arrested for fraud just one week after his release from prison in Oyo State. Quadri, who is suspected of being a drug addict, was apprehended by the Oluyole Security Surveillance Team in Ibadan after duping several Point of Sale (PoS) operators and traders. He was allegedly involved in a scheme where he pretended to make bank transfers through fake credit alerts.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to reports, Quadri would approach PoS operators to request cash, claiming he would transfer the money, along with the operator’s commission, through his bank app. He would then copy a credit alert on his phone, altering the name, date, and amount to make it appear as if a legitimate payment had been made. The fraudulent scheme had been ongoing since June, and Quadri had successfully deceived many victims until his arrest by the Ashi Division of the Oyo State Police Command in September.

After spending time in Agodi Correctional Centre due to his inability to meet bail conditions, Quadri was released in November with the help of some fellow inmates who provided sureties. However, just days after his release, he resumed his fraudulent activities, claiming he had no money to survive on.

When questioned, Quadri appeared disoriented, likely due to his alleged drug addiction. He admitted to using illicit substances, including Pentazocine and PK, which he began taking during his time at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso. His addiction led him to use his school fees to purchase drugs, and he eventually dropped out of university.

Quadri’s father, a well-known petrol dealer in Saki, had sent him to a rehabilitation center in an attempt to help him overcome his addiction. However, upon his return, Quadri fell back into drugs and resorted to fraud as a means to fund his habit.

Quadri’s fraudulent activities included sending fake bank transfer receipts to PoS operators and chemists, convincing them that payments had been made when they had not. His most recent arrest occurred when he attempted to dupe a PoS operator for N20,000. When the operator questioned the authenticity of the transaction, an argument ensued, leading to Quadri’s capture as he tried to flee.

Quadri admitted to his criminal actions in an interview, explaining that he had learned how to manipulate bank alerts due to his background in accounting. Despite his father’s attempts to distance himself from his son’s behavior, Quadri expressed remorse for his actions, acknowledging the harm caused by his drug addiction and fraudulent activities.
