The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested at least five people on suspicion of stealing money from the public by forging official-looking documents
purporting to come from the National Security Adviser’s Office and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
The defendants were detained on August 24, 2023, according to a statement released by EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren on Monday.
Yakubu Mohammed, Bashir Ladan, Adamu Ibrahim, Steven Anom, and Mohammed Bello were the suspects’ identities he mentioned.
“They allegedly conspired and used the letterheads to produce fake employment and recommendation letters for a fee, to unsuspecting members of the public,” Wilson Uwujaren, a spokesman for the EFCC, said.
The anti-graft agency added that legal action against the suspects would be taken as soon as the investigation was complete.
