Men
of the EFCC have arrested two persons impersonating men of the agency in Lagos
state.
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, Lagos Zonal office, has arrested Michael
Friday Edenya and
Adedayo Amzat, Managing Director, Zedcrest Capital Limited, for alleged
offences bordering on impersonation and forgery.
The first suspect, Edenya, allegedly
delivered forged letters purportedly originating from the EFCC’s Special
Control Unit against Money Laundering, SCUML, to both Access Bank Plc and
Coronation Merchant Bank Plc on Friday, August 15, 2018, requesting the account
opening package and statement of account of one Rotimi Williams Monye as well
as that of his company, Giltedege Partners and Advisory Services Limited.
Edenya, in his statement to the
EFCC, stated that the letters were given to him by the second suspect, Amzat,
to deliver on behalf of the Commission to the banks.
He further confessed that he posed
as an employee of the Commission when he carried out the alleged criminal act
at the respective bank.
However, the second suspect, Amzat,
denied any knowledge of the said letters. Investigation revealed that the
forged letters bore the name Monye, a former employee of the second suspect,
Amzat. The suspects will soon be charged to court as soon as investigations are
concluded.
