A suspect identified as Idris Adamu has voluntarily reported himself to the Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in connection with a ₦9 million employment scam.
According to the EFCC, Adamu walked into the Commission’s office at about 1:00 p.m. on Monday and confessed to offences related to impersonation and obtaining money under false pretences, citing fear of the anti-graft agency as his reason for coming forward.
The suspect requested to see the Acting Zonal Director, Deputy Commander of the EFCC, DCE Sa’ad Hanafi Sa’ad, stating that he wished to confess past crimes.
“I came to repent of my sins and to confess to the EFCC. In the past, I have obtained the aggregate sum of ₦9m 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,” Adamu said.
After listening to his confession, Sa’ad commended him for coming forward and directed that the self-confessed suspect be transferred to the Investigation Department for a thorough investigation.
