The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
arrested Oluwasegun Bolarinwa, a fake Army General, for alleged N270million
fraud.
The suspect, who posed as a Nigerian Army General, allegedly
made false representations to the complainant, Kodef Clearing Resources.
He claimed President Muhammadu Buhari shortlisted him and
one other to become Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and that he needed a short grant
“to press and process the appointment.”
Bolarinwa allegedly forged a letter of appointment as COAS
purportedly signed by Buhari and showed the same to the victim.
The suspect lied that he was expected to pay a certain
amount of money into the coffers of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN).
Bolarinwa was arrested at his house in the Alagbado area of
Lagos on Wednesday, January 12, 2022.
Six pump action guns, three cartridge bullets, a swagger
stick and several forged documents were recovered from him.
EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, noted that Bolarinwa will
be charged to court after full investigation.
