The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested five suspects for allegedly using forged letterheads from the Offices of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), and the Minister of Justice to “fraudulently” obtain money from the general public.
The offenders were apprehended on August 24, 2023, according to a statement issued by EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren on Monday.
The suspects’ names were revealed to be Yakubu Mohammed, Bashir Ladan, Adamu Ibrahim, Steven Anom, and Mohammed Bello.
The EFCC said the suspects allegedly conspired and used the letterheads to produce fake employment and recommendation letters for a fee, to unsuspecting members of the public.
The anti-graft agency disclosed that the suspects will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
