EFCC Arrests Babangida, Others by vicmatias(m): 7:49am On Sep 10, 2016 |
The Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC,
has arrested a man identified
as Ibrahim Babangida, for
offences bordering on
criminal breach of trust,
attempted theft, conspiracy
and impersonation.
Also arrested with him is
another suspect bearing
Murtala Mohammed, along
with the driver of the agency,
who was identified as Nasiru
Isa.
The driver, who joined the
Commission about 18 months
ago, is a member of a
criminal syndicate that
attempted to break into a
sealed property by the EFCC,
with the intent of carting
away goods suspected to be
proceeds of money
laundering.
The syndicate, apart from Isa,
Babangida and Mohammed,
includes a mobile police
officer, Corporal Aliyu
Ismaila, Abubakar Jibrin,
Abdulsalam Ado, Reuben
Dauda, Hassan Aliyu, Sani
Yusuf.
Located in the choice area of
Garki, Abuja, the property is
currently under investigation
by the agency, and became a
subject of interest, in the
aftermath of findings into the
N3.9 billion fraud case
involving a former Chief of
Defence Staff, CDS, Air Chief
Marshal Alex Badeh (retd).
The property was also linked
to the wife of the former CDS.
Investigations by EFCC
operatives revealed that
shortly after the property was
sealed, some individuals
moved about 12 bags believed
to contain items linked to
money laundering offence,
into the property.
On August 30, operatives of
the EFCC as part of
monitoring activities on the
sealed property, had gone to site to
execute a search. However, members of
the syndicate took to their heels on
sighting the operatives of the anti-graft
agency. A carpenter, Yakubu
Muhammad, who was hired by the
syndicate, was left behind and was
subsequently arrested by the operatives.
The carpenter, who has been
cooperating with operatives, confessed
that he was not in the know of the illicit
activity. He said he was only brought in
by the syndicate to assist with the use of
his carpentry tools to break into the
property.
Investigations revealed that one of those
in the know about the goods was the
brain behind the scheming to steal them.
The syndicate decided they would need
to subdue the security man at the
property, which would mean they would
need to involve security personnel in the
syndicate.
Subsequently, Mr. Isa was contacted. To
further beef up the security aspect of the
crime, he also contacted his friend, Mr.
Ismaila, who came for the “operation”
fully armed. In perpetrating the crime,
Mr. Dauda had posed to be a senior staff
with the EFCC, while Mr. Jibrin posed as
an Intelligence police officer in the
office of the Inspector General of Police
However, nemesis caught up with them
on August 30 when they were caught in
the act of breaking into the property,
having successfully overpowered the
security guard at the entrance.
They would be charged to court as soon
as investigations are concluded.
