FCT command arrests suspects for forgery, fraud and impersonation

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 pretence.

The arrests followed a complaint received by the Command regarding the fraudulent activities of individuals who falsely represented themselves as legitimate business operators under the name and style of AM-PM Global Network LTD, using the guise to deceive and defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

Confirming the arrest, the spokesperson of the command, SP Josephine Adeh, gave the names of the suspects as Yahaya Abdul, 44 years old, an indigene of Kogi State and Christopher Erin, 44 years old, an indigene of Akwa Ibom State.

Adeh said 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.

Further investigations are ongoing to dismantle the entire syndicate. One additional suspect, identified only as Richard, is currently at large, and efforts are being intensified to ensure his immediate arrest and prosecution.

She said the arrested suspects remain in police custody and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
