Residents around Osubi delta state have finally apprehended a notorious rogue agent named “Dico”, who has been defrauding prospective tenants out of their hard‑earned money.
According to multiple eyewitness reports:
The Scam Setup
Dico approached a lady, offering to show her an “in‑charge” slot of newly built shops.
He collected ₦550,000 as rent and an additional ₦100,000 agent fee—promising the premises would be ready soon.
The Discovery
When completion time came, Dico vanished without a trace.
The tenant returned to the site only to find the landlord, who denied ever appointing Dico or receiving any payment.
The Showdown
The scammed tenant and local residents pursued Dico relentlessly.
They finally “gbab” (captured) him, gave him a stern “baptism” in the community’s customary justice, and exposed his antics for all to see. 🤩🤣
History of Fraud
Further checks reveal this isn’t Dico’s first offense—he’d been arrested before for a similar scam and still owes the bail money from his previous run‑in with the law.
