Ayo who studied Animal Health and Reproduction at Federal College of Animal Health, Ibadan, Oyo State, confessed: “I used N750,000 from the money to process my travelling document. 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 cattles to enable me begin a little ranch, while I used the others for miscellaneous things like travelling to Abuja, Lagos and staying in hotels.”
According to Vanguard, the victim, Mrs Felicia Oketokun, popularly called Mama in Ibadan, is a renowned poultry farm produce dealer. She buys poultry birds and eggs from farms and re-sells.
How it all started
On November 13, 2015, she received a call from one Ayo Kunle Ibikunle who said he had 3000 poultry birds for sale at Seion farms in Olorunda, Ibadan. After price negotiations, Mama Oketokun sent one of her workers to go to Seion’s Farm in Ibadan where he met with Ayo and inspected the birds.
After inspecting the birds and certifying them okay for purchase, Mama Oketokun’s staff requested for Seion farm’s account details to enable his boss make payment for the poultry birds. But, Ayo convinced him that he will give him his own account where they will pay for the birds. He then gave Mama Oketokun’s staff his friend, Saeed’s account number, where they will pay for the products.
It was gathered that immediately after Mrs Oketokun paid the sum of N2.7M to the said account for the birds, Ayo went with Saeed and withdrew the entire money without giving the money to Seion farms or supplying the products to the victim.

Suspect’s account
“I didn’t take her money on purpose. I paid Saeed N500,000 to allow me use his Access bank account for the transaction as I didn’t want to use my personal account. He withdrew N2M for me and later gave me N200,000. He knew the money was from the proceeds of fraudulent transaction."
