The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said it has arrested two suspected currency counterfeiters: Johnson Olumoyegun and Tanko Abubakar, in Abuja.
The spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday.
Uwujaren said the duo was arrested on Thursday and Friday, October 6 and 7, 2022 in Kubwa and Area 3 Axis of Abuja, with fake $270,000 (Two Hundred and Seventy Thousand United States Dollars).
“In addition, Olumoyegun impersonated an officer of the Commission, using a fake EFCC ID card with the name Solomon David,” the statement reads.
“He also carried an ECOWAS Passport with the name, Isa Bello.
“The two suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that a man who posed as an EFCC operative to defraud a Belgian woman of €45,000 has been arrested.
