The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has publicly identified a man accused of impersonating one of its officers. According to a statement released by the agency, the suspect is Haruna Mamuda, a former military member who was discharged from service.
In a video shared by the commission, Mamuda is shown alongside his driver, Salifu Olije Mustapha. The footage portrays the pair engaging in activities where they allegedly intimidated young individuals, claiming to be operatives of the EFCC.
Just three days prior, Mustapha was brought before Justice A.I. Akobi of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Kubwa, Abuja. He faced charges related to impersonation and false representation, as reported by DAILY POST. The driver was accused of pretending to be an officer of the commission.
The court has arraigned Mustapha on four counts concerning these allegations. The EFCC continues to investigate the case, aiming to curb such fraudulent activities that tarnish the agency’s reputation.
