The second syndicate members were arrested after a failed bid to swindle a food seller of over N120,000 and dispossess her of her jewelry in Oshodi. The victim, identified as Rukayat Aderinwale was accosted and hypnotised by a syndicate of five members before dispossessing her of a purse containing N120,000.00 and her mobile phone. They were leading her away to another location when the lady regained her consciousness and called out to RRS officers stationed nearby.
