EFCC quizzes fake staff arrested by DSS
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday quizzed one Solomon Yohana for allegedly impersonating one of its staff in Gombe State.
The EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the suspect was arrested by the Department of State Service (DSS) in the Guyuk local government area of Adamawa State on August 19 and handed over to the EFCC.
Oyewale said: “Items recovered at the point of arrest include one fake EFCC ID Card, some fake EFCC letter-heads, one fake EFCC polo shirt, and a fake Special Control Unit against Money Laundering, SCUML shirt.
“He will be charged to court at the end of the investigation.”
