Operatives of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Friday April 8, 2016
arrested the duo of Abbas Attahiru
and Mohammed Sufiyanu for offences
bordering on personation and obtaining by false pretence.
Attahiru and Sufiyanu’s
arrest followed a complaint by a would be victim, that the suspects claiming to
be staff of EFCC, informed him of a petition purportedly written against him.
Complainant, the
suspects promised to give him a “soft landing” provided he was ready to part
with some money.
Suspecting a foul play,
the complainant contacted the Commission and he was asked to play along as the
EFCC does not solicit for, nor accept
payments/gratification from persons or organisations under any guise to settle
matters.
The suspects were
apprehended at the complainant’s home after collecting N100,000 (One hundred
thousand naira) which was part of their “agreed fee” to “kill the case”.
The suspects would be
charged to court as soon investigations are concluded.
