The FCT Police Command has arrested a woman, Aisha Muhammed Bello, 37, for impersonating the First Lady, Aisha Muhammadu Buhari.
The mother of four from Plateau State was paraded on Monday for using Hajia Buhari’s name to solicit for contracts and financial assistance from unsuspecting members of the public, especially heads of government establishments.
The suspect was arrested by Police operatives on January 10, 2018 at Fadama III Project Office, Maitama, Abuja following a report that she contacted the Coordinator of the project that she wants assistance in her capacity as the First Lady.
Upon her arrest, a phone and a newly acquired Airtel SIM card registered in the name of Aisha Buhari was recovered from Bello.
The police said investigation is ongoing with a view to contacting other people Bello must have duped in the name of the First Lady, adding: “At the end of investigation, she will be charged to court.
“Members of the public are hereby advised to always be double sure of who they are dealing with before they part with their property or money.”
