FCT Police Arrests Man Parading Himself As President Buhari's Son.

Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) have arrested a man, who allegedly paraded himself as the son of the Nigerian president in order to defraud his unsuspecting victims.

A source at the FCT SARS told our reporter that the suspect continuously promised to secure contracts for his victims from the president, saying he had made billions of naira through this illicit venture. 

According to city news,the suspect had enriched himself using names of big politicians and businessmen to defraud his victims.

“He mostly approached big contractors, who were desperate to see the president or any of the governors. He would put fake calls across to the supposed politicians in the presence of his victims and convince them to book appointments. From there, he would demand that the politician’s security officials needed to be settled with huge amounts of money before the contractor would be granted audience with the president or the governor,” the source said.

Trouble started for the fake president’s son when one of his victims, a contractor, repeatedly took his case to SARS, complaining that after collecting lots of money from him, he was not taken to the politician. It was gathered that the suspect has been on the wanted list of the FCT Special Anti-Robbery Squad. 

City news also gathered that he had superimposed pictures with the president, an action that made his story believable.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, FCT command, Anjuguri Manzah, confirmed that acting on a tipoff, SARS operatives arrested the suspect last Saturday at about 2 a.m. 

“The truth is that the suspect had defrauded so many people. To perfect his act, he paraded himself as the son of the president. Three Mercedez Benz and one Peugeot 406 cars were recovered from him as exhibits,” he said, adding that investigations are ongoing.
