The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested two members of a notorious fraud syndicate involved in forgery, impersonation, and obtaining money by false pretences. The suspects, Yahaya Abdul, 44, from Kogi State, and Christopher Erin, 44, from Akwa Ibom State, were taken into custody following a complaint about fraudulent activities under the name AM-PM Global Network LTD.
Arrest and Investigation Details
Confirming the arrest, the command's spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, stated: "Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects are members of an organized criminal syndicate specializing in the forgery of official documents, impersonation, and sophisticated fraudulent schemes designed to deceive unsuspecting victims and unlawfully obtain financial benefits."
The syndicate allegedly operated by falsely representing themselves as legitimate business operators, using the guise of AM-PM Global Network LTD to defraud members of the public. The arrest followed a complaint received by the Command regarding these activities.
Ongoing Manhunt and Legal Proceedings
Further investigations are ongoing to dismantle the entire syndicate. One additional suspect, identified only as Richard, is currently at large, and police efforts are being intensified to ensure his immediate arrest and prosecution. The arrested suspects remain in police custody and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations, according to SP Adeh.
The FCT Police Command urges the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station. The arrests underscore the command's commitment to tackling fraud and economic crimes in the territory.
