THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday 26 June 26, 2024, arrested Dennis Baba Wdony, Wycliffe Midala and Samuel Kayode Melaye for allegedly parading themselves as military officers and using the office of the Chief of Defence Staff to defraud unsuspecting members of the public through fake contract awards.
Investigations by the Commission showed that the suspects operate a three-man syndicate that advertises fake bids for contracts in the office of the Chief of Defence Staff.
Their arrest followed multiple petitions received by the Commission in respect of their alleged fraudulent activities. In one of the petitions, a victim claimed a loss of N21 million to their antics.
A statement by the Commission’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale says they will be charged in court upon conclusion of investigations.
