Court Sentences Fake EFCC Officers To 46 Years In Prison For Impersonation And Fraud....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Two men, Ugwu Chijioke and Ibrahim Adekunle, have been handed a combined 46-year prison sentence for posing as Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives and executing a fraudulent court order. The duo was apprehended in May 2021 at New Horizon Estate, Lekki, Lagos, following actionable intelligence received by the EFCC. They were caught red-handed in the midst of conducting an illegal operation.
During their arrest, authorities recovered counterfeit EFCC identification cards, jackets, and a purported court order from the Mushin Magistrate Court. The suspects were subsequently charged on October 12, 2021, by the EFCC’s Lagos Zonal Command with offenses including impersonation, attempted property fraud, possession of forged documents, and unlawful use of EFCC uniforms.
Appearing before Justice O.O. Abike-Fadipe at the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, the defendants pleaded guilty to all charges. Following their guilty pleas, the prosecution, led by Abdulhamid Tukur, provided evidence substantiating their culpability. Justice Abike-Fadipe then ruled them guilty on all counts, sentencing each to seven years for counts one to three, one year for count four, and eight months for count five, with all sentences to be served concurrently.
The case underscored the EFCC’s resolve to combat impersonation and fraud, safeguarding public trust and integrity in law enforcement efforts.
