Members of a notorious syndicate of fraudsters who specialize in duping innocent persons of their hard earned monies, has finally been apprehended by the operatives of the EFCC in Kaduna.
The Kaduna Zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), have arrested members of a notorious syndicate of fraudsters made up of four Nigerians and one Nigerien who specialize in duping innocent persons of their hard earned monies.
Those arrested are Salisu Rabiu, a.k.a Maimagani; Ibrahim Idris, a.k.a Dankano; Magaji Musa (Nigerien) a.k.a Maishayi; Haruna Abdullahi, a.k.a Balogun and Abubakar Umar, a.k.a Fulani.
The suspects were arrested in a bush along Sabon Gari, Kurmin Kogi, Ikara Local Government Area of Kaduna state. A search of their hide out which is suspected to be a kidnappers’ den led to the startling discovery of a sum of five hundred and seventy thousand ($570,000) fake US dollars and some charms.
The five man gang met their waterloo when they conspired among themselves to lure an unsuspecting victim into believing that some unclaimed boxes containing huge amount of USD were kept with some herdsmen believed to be accomplices by an unidentified politician.Doubtful of the story, the would-be victim contacted the Commission.
The operatives of the Commission upon receipt of the intelligence swung into action and arrested the gang members in their hideouts.
