Toronto police have arrested two Nigerian men, and are looking for a
third, after they allegedly broke up a massive GTA fraud ring.
Police allege the trio used identity theft and fraud to fund a lavish
lifestyle that included $10,000 crocodile shoes and $150,000 watches.But
the flashy clothing was just the tip of the iceberg: they allegedly
stole $10 million from Canadians, Canadian institutions, and people
living abroad.

A warrant has been issued for Duro Akintola, 44, also
known as Michie Noah, of Toronto.Emmanuel Salako, 47, of Toronto, also
known as Gee Salaq, has been indicted by the United States Postal
Inspection Service in Chicago under the name George Salako.
He is wanted in the U.S..
The investigation began last summer. In the probe, police allegedly
seized “37 fraudulently-obtained credit cards, hundreds of pieces of
presumably stolen mail, and a series of notebooks containing the
handwritten identity information of approximately 5,000 GTA residents.”
Police believe the Omitiran had ties to people with “legitimate” access
to identity information. Those people, police allege, sold information
to Omitiran. Police are trying to track down those people.
