The Adamawa State Police Command says it has apprehended one Face Samuel, a female and resident of Army Barracks Road, Yola-North Local Government Area, for impersonation as a Vehicle Inspection Officer (VIO).
Superintendent of Police Suleiman Nguroje, the command spokesperson, disclosed this in a statement issued in Yola on Wednesday.
Nguroje said that the operatives of the command attached to the State intelligence Department (SID) apprehended the suspect on Tuesday, following credible intelligence received on her activities.
According to him, Samuel, on several occasions, impersonated as a VIO officer and defrauded four persons of the sum of N350,000 under the pretence of securing employment for them with the State Ministry of Transportation.
He said: “The suspect has confessed to committing the crime, while also revealing that the VIO’s uniform used in the fraudulent act was given to her by a yet to be identified person.”
Nguroje quoted the Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, as urging members of the public to report people of such character to security agencies
