Premium Times is reporting the arrest of someone identified as Ibrahim Babangida by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in yet another case of fraud as becoming rampart these days.
According to the report, the man, who was nabbed for offences bordering on criminal breach of trust, attempted theft, conspiracy and impersonation, was arrested with accomplices named Murtala Mohammed and Nasiru Isa, a driver of the commission.
Premium Times reports that Isa joined EFCC about 18 months ago but is actually a member of a criminal syndicate that attempted to break into a sealed property by the EFCC to cart away goods suspected to be proceeds of money laundering.
The syndicate, apart from Isa, Babangida and Mohammed, includes a mobile police officer, Corporal Aliyu Ismaila, Abubakar Jibrin, Abdulsalam Ado, Reuben Dauda, Hassan Aliyu, Sani Yusuf EFCC operatives monitoring activities on the sealed property went to search the place for a random exercise and surprised members of the syndicate who ran away and left behind a carpenter called Yakubu Muhammad, who was arrested by the operatives. It was Muhammad that led to the arrest of Babangida, Mohammed and Isa.
EFCC said investigations showed that one of those who knew about the goods in the sealed property was the mastermind behind the scheming to steal them. Although the person’s name was not given, the commission said it was the person that colluded with Babangida and others to steal the goods.
