SINGAPORE — After pretending to fall in love with Singaporean women online and gaining their trust, Awolola Gbolahan Ayobami and Awolola Oladeyo Opeyemi would recruit them as money mules in their transnational scam syndicate.

Two women that the Nigerian nationals recruited ended up having their children when they were in"relationships".

It was the first time that love scam suspects based overseas had been arrested and sent to Singapore for prosecution. Ayobami and Opeyemi worked with a scammer known only as Fola, who would cheat the victims while the two men recruited mules to assist in money laundering. Opeyemi had a child with one of them, while Ayobami had a child with another. The two women were also acquainted with each other.
