Drama As Fraudster Walks Into EFCC Office To Report Himself

A mild drama occurred at the Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, June 2, 2025 when a middle -aged man walked into the office premises and reported himself for the offence of impersonation and obtaining by false pretence, citing the fear of the EFCC.

According to the statement issued by the commission, the suspect, Idris Adamu, walked into the office of the EFCC at about 1300hrs and requested to see the Acting Zonal Director, Deputy Commander of the EFCC, DCE Sa’ad Hanafi Sa’ad. He said he wanted to confess some hidden truths about the crimes he had committed in the past.

Part of the statement reads, “While at the Directors office, he said,” I came to repent of my sins and to confess to the EFCC . In the past , I have obtained the aggregate sum of N9m through my bank account from different individuals in the guise of offering them employment opportunities in Federal Government agencies which was false. I have changed but I am afraid of the EFCC.

“Sa’ad, having listened to his confession, thanked him for speaking to the EFCC and directed that the self-confessed suspect be taken to the investigation department for a thorough investigation of the case.”
