Umma Ayuba, the Zonal Public Relations Officer, confirmed the arrest, stating that the command, led by Assistant Inspector-General of Police Olatoye Durosinmi, acted on a petition filed by Adesuwa Ogizie, a US-based licensed car dealer.

According to Ayuba, the petitioner reported that in 2016, Olawuyi contacted her to purchase a Mercedes Benz GLE 350 valued at N30 million. However, Olawuyi allegedly deceived her by claiming that his brother, Jude Hanslem, would make the payment on his behalf.

After the vehicle was delivered to Olawuyi in Nigeria, Ogizie discovered that the funds deposited into her account were obtained through fraudulent means.

Following the petition, a team of detectives from the Zonal Anti-Kidnapping Unit Zone 2, led by SP Abass Gadzama, swiftly apprehended Olawuyi.

During interrogation, Olawuyi confessed to the crime, admitting involvement in internet fraud at the time of the offense. He claimed that the Mercedes Benz GLE 350 had been sold and the proceeds converted.

The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be communicated as the case progresses. Upon completion of the investigation, Olawuyi will face prosecution in accordance with the law.

Do Not Erase El-Rufai’s Role In Your 2023 Election Victory – Onoh Tells Tinubu.

Denge Josef Onoh, the former Southeast spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to embrace statesmanship and prioritize reconciliation regarding the situation of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In an open letter dated September 24, 2026, and addressed to President Tinubu through Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, Onoh emphasized that El-Rufai’s foundational contributions to the APC and the 2023 presidential campaign must not be forgotten. Highlighting El-Rufai’s instrumental role in securing Tinubu’s historic election victory, Onoh stated: “We cannot quickly erase from our memories the immense, foundational role Mallam El-Rufai played in ensuring the victory of the All Progressives Congress and your historic election in 2023.”

While describing El-Rufai as rigid, intensely opinionated, and notoriously difficult to work with, Onoh noted that these same traits reflected his deep loyalty once committed to a cause. He expressed concern that some of the former governor’s associates had distanced themselves due to political considerations, but stressed that he was unwilling to remain silent.

Drawing from history, Onoh urged Tinubu to follow examples of political reconciliation, such as Julius Caesar’s clemency and former President Shehu Shagari’s 1982 pardon of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, to demonstrate that mercy and unity can heal political divisions. He argued that presidential intervention would display profound political maturity rather than weakness, warning that leaving a key architect of the current democratic dispensation isolated risks deepening national fractures.

Concluding his appeal, Onoh urged the President to choose compassion over confinement and reconciliation over retribution, ensuring the situation fosters national healing instead of division. “Please, let us get value out of this. It matters,” he added.
