A statement signed by Force Public Relations Officer, Olimuyiwa Adejobi, on Wednesday said the suspects, Abodunrin Rasheed, Abodunrin Tunde, and Abodunrin Rokeeb were apprehended following a report via the NPF-NCCC E-Reporting portal and an intelligence report from the Center.

“Investigation revealed that the suspects met a Croatian national on a dating app and claimed to be a woman. Their continuous chats progressed to Instagram and WhatsApp leading to an intimate relationship. However, the Croatian was deceived into sending nude pictures of himself through the dating app. The suspects subsequently conspired and pressured him to pay ransom or have his pictures sent to his family and friends.
