EFCC ARREST CUSTOMS BOSS IMPERSONATOR

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested one Azeez Yakubu Afolayan for impersonating the Comptroller General, Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd) and using his name to scam job seekers.

A statement on Tuesday by the acting EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade said Afolayan was arrested by EFCC operatives of its Ilorin Zonal Office Kwara state on February 20th, 2019, following complaints from one of his victims.

He explained that trouble started for him when a staff of the Customs Service, Hassan Garba Muhammed petitioned the EFCC, accusing him of defrauding innocent Nigerians, seeking employment into the Service. He had so far defrauded them of about N1 million.

He said, “Under interrogation, he admitted to the crime,” Orilade quoted him as saying, “I started duping people since 2017 up till date, I duped about five people, I collected different amount of money from my victims and all of them used to transfer money to my bank accounts."

“I used to tell them that I will help them to secure employment with the Nigerian Custom Services, but I was just scamming,” Orilade quoted.

He said some of the items recovered from him include, Nigerian Customs Service Application Forms, Customs employment letters, passports of some job seekers among others, adding that he will soon be charged to court.

Nigeria Decides: Buhari withdraws from presidential race, gives reason

The presidential candidate of the Sustainable National Party (SNP), Ahmed Buhari has finally withdrawn from the Feb. 16 presidential election.
Buhari made his decision known in an interview with SUNRISE daily, a breakfast show on Channels Television.
On why he stepped down, Buhari said his decision is to drum support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari.
Acording to Ahmed Buhari, he is stepping down from the race because he believes that president Buhari is the right man for the job, NAN reports.
He noted that the Buhari government has also made some gains in the last four years it came on board in the country.
The former SNP presidential candidate accused Nigerian youths of not backing young persons for the presidency.
He regretted his lack of resources to compete with the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It would be recalled that Ahmed Buhari was once a member of the main opposition PDP but left for the SNP to fulfill his dream of becoming the country’s leader.


But, Kingsley Nwagu, the Vice Presidential candidate of the SNP distanced himself from the decision of his presidential candidate to support President Buhari.
Nwagu told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in a telephone interview that Ahmed Buhari was alone in his decision and that the party had replaced him with Jaiye Gasikiya who was the runner-up during the presidential primary election.
“We are still in the race; Ahmed Buhari acted on his own without the party’s consent, so, as it is, the party has not adopted any candidate neither will it adopt.
“But if it will, it is left for the party to decide; we have already written to INEC and we are elevating Jaiye Gaskiya who contested primary election with Ahmed Buhari.
“INEC is yet to respond to our letter notifying them of the development in the party, and we expect a positive response from them.
“As it is, the ballot papers carry only the parties’ logo and as such we are calling on all our members nationwide to still thumbprint on our party logo,” Nwagu said.
Feb. 16 presidential race would see President Buhari of the APC, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and other aspirants slugging it out for the country’s number one seat on Saturday.
