Nigeria’s
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has arrested two suspects,
Tanimu Abubakar (also known as Ibrahim) and Mohammed Yaba for allegedly
parading themselves as officials of the Commission.
The
suspects, who were picked up in Abuja, had gone to the Federal Capital
Territory Authority on 15 January with offer to assist a director of the agency
“Kill” a petition allegedly written against him.
However
they were not so lucky as the official contacted the EFCC.
Following
the complaint, operatives of the Commission swung into action and arrested
them. Investigation into the scam continues.
This arrest is the latest in the rising incidences of
impersonation of officials of the commission by fraudsters who use fake
letterhead of the Commission to write bogus
