EFCC Arrests Fake Military Officers Impersonating CDS

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday announced the arrest of Dennis Baba Wdony, Wycliffe Midala and Samuel Kayode Melaye for allegedly parading themselves as military officers.

The EFCC also accused the arrested fake senior officers of using the office of the Chief of Defence Staff to defraud unsuspecting members of the public through fake contract awards.

According to a statement by EFCC Spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, “investigations showed that the suspects operate a three-man syndicate which advertise fake bids for contracts in the office of the Chief of Defence Staff.

“Their arrest followed multiple petitions received by the Commission in respect of their fraudulent activities. In one of the petitions, a victim claimed a loss of N21 million to their antics.

“They will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.”
