Nuhu Dahiru, who was posing as an EFCC operative, was arrested by the EFCC's Maiduguri Zonal Directorate following a tip-off that he had been deceiving people with the claim that he was working for the commission. According to the EFCC, Dahiru obtained N3m through false pretence.
The EFCC stated that Dahiru was arrested in Tashan Bama, along Bama Road, Maiduguri, Borno State. He was apprehended following credible intelligence that indicated that he had been parading himself as an officer of the EFCC, and thereby defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
The EFCC added that a total sum of N3m was recovered from the suspect at the point of arrest. The suspect would be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
The arrest of Nuhu Dahiru is the latest in a series of crackdowns by the EFCC on fake operatives who have been deceiving people in different parts of the country. The EFCC has been working hard to rid the system of fake operatives who have been bringing disrepute to the commission.
