Following a tip-off, painstaking background check and verification, operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have busted a fake Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) centre in Jobi Fele Way, Alausa Business District, Alausa, Ikeja.
Five suspects manning the centre were equally arrested for forgery and impersonating CAC officials. Those arrested include Gloria Ukaegbu aged 28, Omolere Kayode aged 30, Taiwo Ajayi aged 34, Nwachukwu Brenda aged 27 and Oluwatomisin Adebisi aged 25.
Led by the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, the operatives recovered several forged CAC documents, a Toyota Sienna and a Toyota Matrix used as makeshift offices for their nefarious transactions.
According to SP Benjamin Hundeyin, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), preliminary investigation reveals that the syndicate has swindled hundreds of people through fake CAC registrations.
Eighteen-Eleven Media gathered that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, (CP) Abiodun Alabi, has directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti for further investigations and eventual prosecution.
