The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has arrested three men masquerading as its operatives at Area 3, Garki, Abuja over their alleged roles in an attempted 20 million naira fraud.
The three men were identified as Yakubu Dankaba (aka Yakubu Hamisu), Yahaya Baba and Usman Abdulhakeem (aka Chairman).
A statement issued by EFCC spokesman, Mr Wilson Uwujaren stated that the men posing as EFCC operatives wrote a letter to the Director of FCT, Abuja Water Board with the intention of defrauding him of 20 million naira.
In their letter to the FCT Water Board Director , the trio allegedly informed him that he was under investigation. Thereafter, they offered to help him quash the investigation if he could part with 20 million naira.
Uwujaren said that on sensing that he was about to be scammed, the Water Board Director alerted the anti graft agency which swung into action and arrested the impostors.
He added that they would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.
