Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Maiduguri Zonal Directorate, have arrested a man identified as Nuhu Dahiru for allegedly impersonating an officer of the commission and obtaining N3m by false pretence.
PUNCH Metro learnt this from an official statement issued by the EFCC and uploaded on its X account on Monday.
According to the anti-graft agency, Dahiru was arrested at Tashan Bama, along Bama Road, Maiduguri, Borno State, following credible intelligence received by its operatives.
The commission said the suspect had allegedly been “parading himself as an officer of the EFCC” and using the false identity to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
