‘I stole grandma’s N2.7m to process S/African travelling documents’

A 34-year-old suspect, Ayo Kunle Ibikunle, who allegedly swindled an octogenarian of N2.7 million, says he used the money to process his travelling documents. Ayo, who studied animal health and reproduction at Federal College of Animal Health, Ibadan, Oyo State, said: “I used N750, 000 from the money to process my travelling documents. I wanted to travel to South Africa. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out.
After it failed, I gave N400, 000 cash to Kasali to supply me cattle to enable me begin a little ranch, while I used the remaining money miscellaneous things like travelling to Abuja, Lagos and staying in hotels.” Sunday Vanguard learned that the 80-year-old victim, Mrs Felicia Oketokun, popularly called Mama in Ibadan, is a poultry farm produce dealer. She buys poultry birds and eggs from farms and re-sells.
