The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested two suspects over an alleged forgery, fraud and impersonation scheme operated under the name of a company to deceive members of the public.
Police said the arrests followed a complaint alleging that the suspects falsely presented themselves as operators of AM-PM Global Network LTD and used the company to obtain money from unsuspecting victims under false pretences.
The suspects were identified as Yahaya Abdul, 44, from Kogi State, and Christopher Erin, 44, from Akwa Ibom State.
Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, said preliminary investigations linked the pair to a syndicate allegedly involved in forging official documents, impersonation and other fraudulent activities.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects are members of an organized criminal syndicate specializing in the forgery of official documents, impersonation, and sophisticated fraudulent schemes designed to deceive unsuspecting victims and unlawfully obtain financial benefits.”
She said investigators were working to dismantle the network and arrest another suspect, identified only as Richard, who remains at large.
The suspects are in police custody and will be charged to court at the conclusion of investigations.
