“Upon receipt of these documents with suspicion, followed by a petition from the Office of the Special Assistant to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a discreet investigation was conducted, which led to the apprehension of Tafida and Abdullahi. Further investigation would then result in the arrest of the other suspects involved.”

The police also said upon interrogation, the suspects confessed to their roles in the crime and admitted to forging documents from several government offices to defraud unsuspecting victims, promising them enlistment and jobs at various government agencies.

Some forged classified documents, stamps, the sum of N1,700,000 and other incriminating items, were recovered from the suspects.

The Force PRO cautioned the public to be careful of such dealings, saying, “With this new trend, members of the public are advised to be wary of such fraudulent elements and avoid dealing with persons and individuals offering assistance outside of due process.”

In another development, operatives of the Nigeria Police Force attached to the Jibia Divisional Police Headquarters, Katsina State intercepted a group of suspected armed bandits along the Magama-Jibia road, where they had accosted and attacked two commercial vehicles in an attempt to kidnap the occupants.

Police operatives engaged the bandits in a fierce gun duel which compelled the armed and dreaded bandits to flee, resulting in the foiling of the kidnapping attempt and the rescue of 14 victims.

The Force PRO however, noted that during the escape, two of the victims sustained gunshot injuries from the assailants.
