Two Nigerians Charged Over Internet Scam In Singapore


Two Nigerians identified as Oladayo Opeyemi Awolola, 34, and Gbolahan Ayobami Awolola, 37, have been arrested and charged with internet scam in Singapore. The two Nigerians charged over internet scam in Singapore are believed to be members of an internet love scam syndicate, and they were accused of recruiting local women to collect money for them.

They were arrested by Malaysian authorities in Kuala Lumpur last month, and sent to Singapore on Monday. In a statement on Monday evening, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said this was the first time that overseas-based suspects involved in the scams, were arrested and sent to Singapore for prosecution.

The suspects reportedly recruited two Singaporean women as money mules, to receive criminal proceeds linked to the love scams. The women allegedly received at least $85,700 (RM261, 286) from victims in Singapore, before handing the cash to the syndicate members in Malaysia. If convicted, they could be jailed for up to five years each and also fined.
