Two Suspected Fraud Syndicate Members Arrested Over Forgery In Abuja

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested two suspected members of an organised fraud syndicate accused of forging official documents, impersonating legitimate business operators and defrauding members of the public.

The command said the suspects, identified as Yahaya Abdul, 44, from Kogi State, and Christopher Erin, 44, from Akwa Ibom State, were apprehended following a complaint about the activities of individuals allegedly operating under the name AM-PM Global Network LTD to deceive unsuspecting victims.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, preliminary investigations revealed that the suspects belong to a criminal syndicate specialising in document forgery, impersonation and other sophisticated fraudulent schemes aimed at obtaining money by false pretence.

The police said the suspects allegedly used the identity of the company to present themselves as legitimate business operators while carrying out their fraudulent activities.

The command added that investigations were ongoing to uncover and dismantle the entire syndicate.

It disclosed that another suspect, identified only as Richard, is currently on the run, adding that efforts had been intensified to apprehend him and bring him to justice.

The police said the two suspects remain in custody and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
