Minister of the Federal Capital Territory,
Senator Bala Muhammad, has fallen victim to
a man, who specialises in cloning phone
numbers and using same to commit large
scale fraud in the process.
The Minister, according to security
information, fell into the trap set for him by
one Ibrahim Sabo Takat, who lives in Wuye
District of the FCT, who used his phone
number and gave instructions, as if the
Minister was the one doing so.
In particular, Takat succeeded in ordering
the Chief of Staff to the Minister to pay the
sum of N3 million into his own account
domiciled with Diamond Bank with number
0011141544, posing as if the Minister was the
one giving the order.
Unknown to the Chief of Staff, he quickly
arranged and paid the amount into Takat’s
account on Thursday, August 8, 2013 without
suspecting any foul play.
Shortly after the amount hit the account,
Takat promptly withdrew it and disappeared
into thin air.
But he ran out of luck shortly after when the
Minister smelt a rat and reported the huge
swindle to the security agencies, when he
discovered that he did not issue any
instruction to this Chief of Staff to pay the
N3 million into the fraudster’s account.
The FCT Director of Security confirmed the
arrest of Takat yesterday to journalists in
Abuja and said that he would be charged
after concluding investigations into the
fraudulent act.
Takat was paraded by Ibrahim Halilu, on
behalf of the DSS Director FCT Command, who
also asked members of the public to be
careful with the way the handle their phones
and who they give their numbers to.
