The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has declared Haruna Mamuda wanted over allegations of conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence, and impersonation.
In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by the Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the anti-graft agency said the 31-year-old is being sought in connection with an ongoing investigation into the alleged offences.
The EFCC stated that Mamuda is an indigene of Abaji Local Government Area in the Federal Capital Territory, with his last known address listed as “Behind Nigerian Law School, Bwari, Abuja.”
“The public is hereby notified that Haruna Mamuda, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in an alleged case of conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence, and impersonation,” the statement added.
The commission urged members of the public with useful information on his whereabouts to report to any of its zonal offices in Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja.
It also provided direct contact channels, including the phone number 08093322644 and email address info@efcc.gov.ng, while advising that information could also be reported to the nearest police station or other security agencies.
This comes as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission alerted the public to what it described as increasing cases of impersonation and fake sting operations by criminal elements posing as its officers.
The commission stated that intelligence reports show fraudsters are using what it described as “ingenious but fraudulent means” to damage its reputation.
It further noted that one of the methods involves a syndicate operating around popular restaurants and entertainment centres in major cities, where unsuspecting young people are allegedly targeted.
