The Ogun State Police Command has wrapped up its investigation into an alleged N11 million farmland fraud, with two suspects due in court in Abeokuta.
Police spokesperson DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi announced the development in a statement on Thursday.
The case began with a petition from Kazeem Olanrewaju, who said he paid the suspects and another person N11 million for 20 acres of cocoa and kola nut land at Apora Village.
Police say the transactions took place between June and November 2025 in Alawaya Village, Ehin Osun, near Ijebu-Igbo.
The land was never handed over, and the money was not refunded. Police allege it was spent on personal needs.
Oluwaseyi Oluwatosin Olaleye, 44, was tracked down after fleeing to Osun State.
Tirisimiyu Balogun, 67, is also in custody.
Police say Balogun and a third man, Akinyosola Akinlamon, who is still at large, are linked to a conspiracy to commit advance fee fraud.
The two suspects are expected to be arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abeokuta on Wednesday.
Police stressed that the suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
