It was learnt that a group posing as members of a cooperative society approached the women to demand that they deposit their money and get it back in double of triple folds.
Dozens of market women who were oblivious of the fact that it was a scam, keyed into the scheme and dropped thousands of naira each.
The fraudsters using the company name Perennial Global Services Limited gave them tags, means of identification and a purported cooperative society account opening/withdrawal passbook.
Unfortunately, when they were expected to get the returns of their money, the group had vanished with millions of naira.
