EFCC arrests fake operative over alleged N3m fraud in Maiduguri

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has apprehended Nuhu Dahiru for allegedly posing as an EFCC officer and scamming the public out of N3 million, according to a statement released by the commission on Monday via its official X account. Dahiru was apprehended by EFCC operatives in Tashan Bama, situated along Bama Road in Maiduguri, Borno State, following credible intelligence that he had been impersonating an EFCC officer to deceive the public.

The commission alleged that Dahiru obtained the N3 million through false pretences and that a total of N3 million was recovered from the suspect at the time of his arrest. The EFCC added that Dahiru would be charged to court following the completion of investigations.
