In n a shocking revelation, Bishop Dr Sanya Ojo has exposed a well-coordinated international fraud syndicate that targets unsuspecting victims through religion, sympathy, and fake business deals.
The encounter, which lasted between April 8 and April 18, began when the Bishop received a call from a man who identified himself as Engr. Akintayo (+2348022433815), requesting prayers and claiming to have received the Bishop’s contact from a church member in Sango, Ogun State.
Out of goodwill, the Bishop prayed for him.
However, the next phase revealed a deeper scheme.
THE FRAUD PATTERN UNFOLDS
Shortly after, another individual—“Adeoye Coker”, claiming to reside in California, USA—contacted the Bishop via WhatsApp (+1 775 208 9394).
He narrated an emotional story:
Marital crisis
Joint account issues
Immigration troubles
Alleged house arrest
He requested urgent prayers and made a “covenant vow” if God intervened.
Days later, he claimed a miracle had occurred.
THE REAL SCAM BEGINS
The suspect then introduced:
Tunde Badmus (Surveyor)
Yinka Ojo (Architect)
They claimed to be his associates for a proposed Event Centre project in Nigeria.
The Bishop, acting cautiously but strategically, played along as an investigative journalist.
Locations were inspected
Videos were sent
Communication continued
Then came the trap
THE MONEY SCHEME
The fraudster claimed:
Funds were with an “aged lawyer” in the U.S.
Money could not pass through banks
Delivery would be handled by a logistics agency
The Bishop should provide ID (voter’s card, driver’s licence)
They referenced a known company: ?? Loomis
to appear legitimate.
Then came the demand: $200 delivery fee
THE RED FLAG
At this point, Bishop Ojo declined firmly:
“Why should I pay to receive money meant for land purchase? I don’t engage in shady deals.”
That refusal exposed the entire fraud.
HOW THE SCAM WORKS (MODUS OPERANDI)
Victims are lured with:
Fake spiritual connection
Emotional distress stories
Business opportunity (land/project)
Fake logistics/delivery company
Small “processing” or “delivery” fee
Once you pay:
Another demand follows (police interception, customs, etc.)
You keep paying repeatedly
No money ever arrives
This is known as “advance fee fraud” / one-chance scam
KEY LESSONS
NEVER pay to receive money
Avoid deals that bypass banks
Be wary of emotional manipulation
Do not share personal ID casually
Verify all claims independently
FINAL WARNING
“Many men of God and prominent individuals have fallen victim to this scheme. Be vigilant—fraudsters are on the prowl.”
