The suspects, residents of Karu, Nasarawa State, were arrested on December 12.

“On Dec. 12,  at about noon, our men arrested two persons for duping unsuspecting citizens.

“The suspects were about to dupe one Mr Danjuma Dalong of his N288,000 when our men arrived at the spot and arrested them.

“Investigation revealed that the two suspects residing in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, went to Bokkos with the sole aim of duping innocent citizens.
