The police in Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, have arrested an alleged fake woman customs officer, Rakiya Musa, for swindling people.
The spokeswoman of the zone, SP Hauwa Idris-Adamu, who confirmed the arrest in a statement on Sunday, said, “A petition was written by one Josiah Kashim Utenwojo and one Dominic Okoh Henry against the suspect who claimed to be an officer of the Nigeria Customs Service in charge of Public Auction Unit at Tin Can Port, Apapa, Lagos.
“Musa lived in the Nigeria Air Force Mess, Apapa, for three months, thereby making her victims believe she is a customs officer.”
“Upon receipt of the petition, the AIG immediately detailed some crack detectives attached to the Zonal Criminal Investigation Department to investigate and they swung into action.”
