The EFCC has arrested a four-man fraud syndicate for allegedly impersonating its Chairman, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, and attempting to blackmail a former Managing Director of the Nigeria Port Authority, Mr. Mohammed Bello-Koko.
The suspects reportedly claimed they could offer Bello-Koko a “soft landing” in exchange for $1 million, threatening him with arrest and prosecution otherwise.
The suspects were apprehended on August 28, 2024, in Abuja, and will be charged in court following the conclusion of investigations.
