Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on December 6, 2016 arrested one Raheem Adebunmi Adisa, in Ibadan, Oyo State, for offences bordering on land scam, and obtaining money by false pretence.

Intelligence report on Adisa has it that he is a habitual land scammer whose stock in trade is to defraud unsuspecting members of the public and was recently released from prison custody for similar offence.
