Photo: Top Politician Arrested with EFCC ID Card; Impersonating Director of Ops



A former Kogi Central Senatorial candidate, Alhaji Abdulazeez Bello is being charged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on charges of impersonation and forgery.

49-year-old Bello, Olufamous.com gathered, was arrested by operatives of the State Security Services, SSS, at the Sheraton Hotels & Towers, Lagos, while impersonating the Director of Operations of the EFCC, Mr. Olaolu Adegbite, as seen in the ID card above.

He was at the hotel premises to further an advance fee fraud agenda targeted at Mrs Mercy Orji, wife of the Abia State governor, Mr. Theodore Orji. He reportedly posed as the EFCC’s Director of Operations with a fake identity card bearing the name of E. Adegbite.

Reports from the SSS indicated that Bello was arrested on January 27, 2013 while negotiating with some aides of his would-be victim. He was later handed over to the EFCC for prosecution.

At the EFCC’s office, the politician-turned conman claimed that he was working with certain Nelson Ndukwe and Chuks Offor, both aides of Mrs. Orji to perfect his nefarious agenda of swindling her. 

“I’m sorry that I impersonated the Operations Director of the EFCC. I did it to be able to arrest Mrs. Orji’s assistants who are said to be working for her to launder money. It was my first time of doing this. EFCC should help me out of this”, he begged
