Statement from EFCC below;
“A staff of the National Biotechnology Development Agency, NABDA, who
attempted to dupe a National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and
Control (NAFDAC) contractor, Liuideco Global Services Limited, on the
pretext that he can help “kill” a pending investigation by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been arrested by the
anti-graft agency.
The suspected fraudster, Samson Irefin was picked up by operatives of
the EFCC in the early hours of Friday, September 11, 2015 in the
premises of a new generation bank in Abuja, as he attempted to collect
the sum of N500,000 which he had demanded from his victim to “” Kill”
the case.
The sting operation was made possible by the courage of the would-be
victim who contacted the EFCC after Irefin made his approach, claiming
he has influence in the EFCC to get him a soft-landing. But convinced he
had done nothing to warrant investigation by the EFCC, or a ransom to
be spared the ordeal of investigation, alerted the Commission, where he
was advised to play along.
From that moment, Irefin was under close watch, with his every move
being monitored by the anti-graft agency, culminating in his arrest this
morning.' The suspect will be charged to court after investigation is
concluded.
His arrest however brings to the fore the antics of some fraudsters who
have been going about, defrauding members of the public by demanding for
money to stop the EFCC from investigating petitions supposedly written
against them.
The Commission has consistently warned members of the public not to fall
prey to these fraudsters as no inducement can stop an investigation by
the EFCC. It has also repeatedly called on members of the public to
promptly report any solicitation, by either genuine or fake EFCC
officials, to the nearest EFCC office or police station.”
