EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale said in a statement that the syndicate were arrested on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at Gimbiya Street, Garki and Apo Legislative Quarters in Abuja.

According to the EFCC, the suspects allegedly contacted a former Managing Director of the Nigeria Port Authority (NPA), Mr. Mohammed Bello-Koko claiming his indictment in some phony investigative activities of the EFCC during his tenure while serving at the NPA.

“They alleged that Olukoyede was ready to give him a soft landing for $1million or risk being arrested and prosecuted.

“On receipt of intelligence regarding the moves of the impersonators, operatives of the commission were deployed to play along with the alleged fraudsters. They were successfully arrested and in custody of the commission,” Oyewale stated.
