In the process, the woman and her mother fell for it hook line and sinker. Before they knew what hit them the man had defrauded the victim, Dayo, an oil and gas dealer in Apapa of her N7.9million.

The suspect Ifatde Ademola, also sexually harassed the victim, Dayo when he deceived her to swim in a pool of water to wash away bad spirits from her. She was naked doing that when Ademola came to her where she was stark naked and attempted to rape her.
