Suspected Employment Fraudster Hands Over Self To EFCC
A mild drama occurred at the Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday when a middle-aged man walked into the office premises and reported himself for the offence of impersonation and obtaining by false pretence, citing the fear of the EFCC.
Dele Oyewale, head of media and publicity of the EFCC, made this known in a statement on Monday.
He disclosed that the suspect, Idris Adamu, walked into the office of the EFCC at about 13:00hrs and requested to see the Acting Zonal Director, Deputy Commander of the EFCC, DCE Sa’ad Hanafi Sa’ad.
He said the suspect said he wanted to confess some hidden truths about the crimes he had committed in the past.
While at the director’s office, the suspect said, “I came to repent of my sins and to confess to the EFCC. In the past, I have obtained the aggregate sum of N9 m through my bank account from different individuals in the guise of offering them employment opportunities in Federal Government agencies, which was false. I have changed, but I am afraid of the EFCC.
Sa’ad, having listened to his confession, thanked him for speaking to the EFCC and directed that the self-confessed suspect be taken to the investigation department for a thorough investigation of the case.
