The Economics and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC Gombe Zonal Office arrests Eze Mavus Ugochukwu a student of Bauchi State Polytechnic studying computer science. Eze Mavus Ugochukwu was accused of the public by posing as a Lieutenant in the Nigerian Army. He defrauds Dorcas Oni 400,000 Naira for Nigerian Defense Academy Admission.
In the course of EFCC’s investigation, it was discovered that the suspect has defrauded some other victims to the tune of N1, 455,000.00 (One Million, Four Hundred and Fifty-Five Thousand Naira), using the same military bait. All the proceeds of crime were paid into his two bank accounts domiciled in FCMB and STANBIC IBTC, between December 2019 and July 2020.
Investigations further revealed that the suspect succeeded in making his victims believe he was a military officer by photo-shopping military officers’ uniforms and superimposing the image of his face on them, complementing the fraud by attaching his name tag on the uniforms.
He was also discovered to have forged military documents which he passed off to his victims as genuine in a bid to convince them that he would secure NDA admission for them. He will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded. Click here to join us on Facebook.
