The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a man from Borno State, Nuhu Dahiru, for allegedly impersonating one of its operatives and using the disguise to defraud members of the public of N3 million.
The anti-graft agency said the N3 million was recovered from the suspect at the time of his arrest, according to Premium Times.
Punch reported that Dahiru had been posing as an EFCC official, a ruse the commission said he used to extract money from unsuspecting victims.
Details of how the alleged fraud was carried out, and how long it had gone on before the arrest, were not disclosed in the reports. The EFCC has not stated whether Dahiru will face formal charges or when he might appear in court.
