Nemesis has caught up with three persons in Nasarawa state posing as operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives in the state.
Nasarawa state police command announced the arrest of the three suspects that also specialized in abduction of students.
The Command’s spokesman, Ramhan Nansel, who disclosed this in a statement, revealed that the command, at about 3:45 p.m. on April 17, received a distressed call that four persons in a green-coloured Toyota Corolla car abducted a student of Federal Polytechnic, Nasarawa.
He noted that the suspects robbed and abducted one ND II student at their lodge behind Government College in the Nasarawa Local Government Area of the State.
The Police Spokesperson said: “On receipt of the call, the police immediately gave the suspects a hot chase and a roadblock was mounted at Laminga junction to stop them from escaping with the victim, but they hit the barrier and fled.
According to him, a follow-up investigation into the case led to the arrest of three other members of the gang who were residents of Custom Quarters and Up Market area in Masaka.
The police spokesman said one iPhone 12 Pro Max, Huawei and one Tecno Spark 5 earlier collected from some victims, and fake EFCC identification cards were recovered from the suspects.
Nansel noted that the suspects confessed to being the syndicate responsible for robbing and terrorizing student areas in Keffi and Nasarawa Local Government Areas of Nasarawa State.
Nansel said the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Police, Umar Nadada, had directed that the case be transferred to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in Lafia for further investigation.
The suspects, he said, would be charged to court upon the conclusion of an investigation.
