EFCC’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren in a statement said they were arrested in a sting operation at Macedonia Street, Queens Estate, Karsana, Gwarinpa in Abuja. According to Uwujaren, Femi supplied the inside information that facilitated the att@ck on a bank by the syndicate. “He (Femi) was picked up Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at Radisson Blu Hotel in Lagos. Following his arrest, a search was conducted on his home in Morgan Estate, Ojodu where a total of $470,000 USD was recovered. The arrest of the suspects followed months of investigation into the hacking of one of the commercial banks by a syndicate of fr@udsters who pulled off a heist of N1.4billion. The syndicate allegedly moved N887 million into the account of Fav Oil and Gas limited, from where the monies were paid to several Bureau de Change operators and some auto dealers for exchange into United States Dollars and purchase of high-end cars,” he said. The EFCC added that Dominic, who has severally been arrested for fr@ud, allegedly helped Atumeyi perfect the hacking plan through Abdumalik. “Dominic, a self-styled investment expert and managing director of Brisk Capital Limited was arrested in May 2021 by the Special Fr@ud Unit of the Nigeria Police for alleged N2billion investment scm. He allegedly defr@uded over 500 persons in a phony investment scheme. Two Range Rover Luxury SUVs were also recovered from the two suspects arrested in Abuja.

Gunmen suspected to be bandits attacked Adavi Police Divisional Headquarters in Kogi State and k*lled three officers during the shootout. The Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP William Ovye Aya, confirmed the incident in a statement in Lokoja on Saturday, April 23. "Today, 23/4/2022, the command received a report of the unfortunate incident at Adavi Police Division, where some hoodlums attacked the station from the opposite direction shooting sporadically, but were repelled by the men on duty and operatives of the Quick Response Unit who were on special operations at the local government,' the PPRO stated. "The command lost three of its officers during the gun duel, while the hoodlums fled with gun shot wounds as they could not get access to the station.” He said the state Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Egbuka, had deployed a team of tactical operatives to the area to restore normalcy and track down the hoodlums. The state police command therefore called on the people of Adavi and the adjoining communities to be on the lookout and report any body seen with bullet wounds, to the Police or any other Security Forces nearest to them. "CP Egbuka has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Investigation, to commence investigation into the incident immediately.” the statement added.

He condoled with Nigeria Police, the family of the deceased, and assured his readiness by making sure they are apprehended and brought to book. #police #kogistate #mycelebrityandi https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccuy1lprJO6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
