In
what will come across as a rather shocking development, a man has been
found out to use social media to lure girls into his trap.

The man identified as one Oluwole Falaseye, has landed in police net.
Falaseye, a father of two, specialised in using social media
platforms, especially Facebook, to lure gullible ladies to hotels. After
getting them to the hotels, he will then sedate, r*pe and dispossesse
them of their valuables.
According to Vanguard, the suspect, Oluwole Falaseye, 30, who used
the name Nipheme Ajanaku, usually posed as an Abuja-based bank manager
on Facebook.
After familiarising himself with young ladies through regular
chatting, he would book for a meeting in a hotel in Festac Town, Amuwo
Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos State. This was how he hooked up
with a lady identified simply as Mercy and invited her for a birthday
party in Opera Hotel, at Rasaq Junction, Festac Town, last Friday.
However, Mercy, a student of Polymer Engineering at Auchi
Polytechnic, Edo State, had an engagement outside Lagos and sent her
cousin, Tinuke, who is also an undergraduate of Public Administration at
The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, to represent her.
Narrating what transpired at the hotel, Tinuke said: “While at
the hotel room, he demanded for my ATM pin, saying he wanted to transfer
N30,000 into my account. I was initially skeptical, but gave him
because he said he was a bank manager and that his boss owned the hotel.
“He offered me an alcoholic drink, but I declined because I
don’t take alcoholic drinks. He offered me another, saying it was not
alcoholic. I took it. That was all I could remember until I woke up to
discover he r*ped me.
“I was bitter, because he is not my boyfriend and I never
bargained for such violation. He apologised and we went downstairs for
the supposed birthday. He later told me he was going upstairs to see his
boss.
“I waited endlessly without seeing him. When I went to the
room, I met the door opened, with the key still with me. I was shocked.
“I discovered that my phones, a Samsung Galaxy S6 and another
small phone, my necklace, ATM card and my wristwatch were gone. I went
downstairs to inform the receptionists about the development and also
asked if they saw him leaving.
“They said they do not keep tab on their customers. I raised an alarm which attracted people.”
She claimed that the suspect withdrew N172,000 from her account.
When news reached Mercy, the girls planted a lady, who reached the
suspect on Facebook, in the process of which he booked an appointment
with her at Festac, only to be arrested by policemen.
Falaseye, the suspect, told Vanguard, yesterday, that lack of funds
to pay for his three-year-old baby’s medical bill led him into such
dubious acts.
Falaseye, a secondary school drop-out, said: “This is my first
time of doing this. I sell shoes and suits and I travel round Nigeria to
buy and sell. But business has been bad and I didn’t have anybody to
ask for money to foot my three-year-old baby’s hospital bill.
“So I just figured out that I could meet the girl I have been
chatting with and take her phone to sell. Yes I stole her items. “I told
her to wait in the bar, while I went to the room, took her items and
fled. I sold her phone for N20,000.”
The suspect, according to Lagos State Commissioner for Police,
Fatai Owoseni, would be charged to court soon, even as he warned
Lagosians to be wary of his likes.
