Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command have dismantled an organized criminal ring, arresting two principal members of a syndicate specializing in document forgery, impersonation, and multi-million naira fraud.
The suspects were apprehended following a detailed petition submitted to the Command regarding fraudulent activities conducted under the guise of a fictitious corporate entity named AM-PM Global Network LTD.
According to a press statement released on Wednesday by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, the arrested individuals were identified as:
Yahaya Abdul (44) – an indigene of Kogi State, and Christopher Erin (44), an indigene of Akwa Ibom State.
The statement noted that preliminary investigations revealed that the duo belonged to a sophisticated network that manufactured fake official documents and impersonated legitimate business operators to defraud unsuspecting victims and unlawfully acquire financial gains across the territory.
It added that while the two suspects remain in custody, police confirmed that a manhunt has been launched for a third key member of the syndicate.
“Further investigations are ongoing to dismantle the entire syndicate.
“One additional suspect, identified only as Richard, is currently at large, and efforts are being intensified to ensure his immediate arrest and prosecution,” SP Adeh stated.
The FCT Police Command assured the public that the arrested suspects will be formally charged in court upon the conclusion of ongoing investigations, reiterating its commitment to flushing out criminal syndicates in the Federal Capital Territory.
