Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday May 17, 2016 arrested one Elisha Ankuma for
allegedly impersonating as a staff of EFCC and obtaining by false pretence.
Ankuma’s arrest followed a complaint by one Dr.
Audu Shekaro, a childhood friend of the suspect and a staff of National
Veterinary Research Institute, Jos, Plateau State that the suspect sometime in
November 2015 called to inform him that the EFCC was auctioning vehicles worth
N400,000 (four hundred thousand naira).
The complainant said Elisha told him to get in
touch with one Aminu Bala for the purchase of a Honda car “End of Discussion,” purportedly
being one of the cars to be auctioned by the Commission.
According to Shekaro, a sum of N300, 000 (three
hundred thousand naira) was paid to Ankuma on November 23, 2015 and
the
balance of N100,000 (hundred thousand naira) later paid into the suspect’s
account in one of the new generation banks.
After months of waiting, the complainant became
agitated and decided to petition the EFCC.
The suspect will be charged to court as soon as
investigations are concluded
