The Lagos State Police Command has declared two men, Tomiloye Sunday and Oloyede Olowoyo, wanted over an alleged N115 million fraud.

The separate wanted notices were issued by the Nigeria Police Force on Tuesday, September 1.

According to the police, Sunday is wanted for alleged conspiracy, fraud, forgery, impersonation and obtaining money under false pretences. The police alleged that he conspired with other suspects, who are still at large, to fraudulently obtain N115 million from the complainant.

The notice partly read, “The above-named person is hereby declared WANTED by the Nigeria Police Force in connection with conspiracy, fraud, forgery, impersonation and obtaining money under false pretences.
