The place was exposed after one of the victims, Florence Ikhide, was lured to the hotel and N500,000 was obtained from her under the false pretence of securing Federal Road Safety Commission job for one Obehi Purity Ikhide.
According to the victim, the syndicate convinced her that they had contacted at the Headquarters of Federal Road Safety Commission to engage those who wanted to be employed as workers but on condition to part with the said amount, which she paid and it later turned out to be a scam.
The alleged fraud was reported to the Police and one of the members of the syndicate, Shodipe Tosin, 37, was arrested and detained at Ajao Police Division for interrogation.
