Abuja Court Arraigns Man for Posing as EFCC Officer to Defraud Public

A suspect, Salifu Olije Mustapha, appeared before Justice A.I. Akobi at the FCT High Court, Kubwa, on charges of impersonating an EFCC officer and a Nigerian Air Force serviceman. He faces four counts of misrepresentation and defrauding unsuspecting members of the public. According to the charge sheet, Mustapha allegedly transported two accomplices in a marked EFCC uniform to trick motorists at Sheriff Plaza, Wuse II, in March 2026. He pleaded guilty to all counts when they were read to him. The prosecution asked the court to convict and sentence him, and Justice Akobi adjourned the case to June 1, 2026, for sentencing. Mustapha was arrested after intelligence linked him to the impersonation scheme.
