BREAKING: Fake Lawyer, Three Accomplices Arrested for Alleged Forgery, Embassy Scam
The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Professor Ahmed Audi, has ordered the arrest and investigation of four suspects for criminal conspiracy, forgery, impersonation and public deception.
Those arrested include one Honourable Hassan Sani Jikan Mallam, Obeten John, Abubakar Mohammed, and Lucky Ndirika Emenike.
Preliminary findings by the Commandant General’s Special Intelligence Squad (CG’s SIS) revealed that Jikan Mallam had been posing as a member of the House of Representatives for the Katsina Central Constituency, issuing official letters and complimentary cards under the false title “Hon. Hassan Sani Jikan Mallam, Member, House of Representatives.”
According to a statement by the NSCDC spokesperson, Afolabi Babawale, the suspects were apprehended when they attempted to gain access to the office of the Commandant General, pretending to be legitimate lawmakers.
The Head of the CG’s SIS, Commandant A.S. Dandaura, confirmed that the suspects were caught in the act and have since confessed to the crime.
Investigations further revealed that Jikan Mallam hired a Prado Jeep and employed a police officer, identified as Inalegwu Ameh, to pose as his security aide. The group allegedly made several unauthorized visits to ministries and embassies, attempting to secure visas for multiple applicants at the Spanish Embassy while posing as National Assembly officials.
Recovered items from the suspects included fake National Assembly letterheads, complimentary cards, and forged correspondence addressed to embassies and government agencies—evidence of their fraudulent activities.
The NSCDC assured that the suspects would face full prosecution to serve as a deterrent and urged the public to report suspicious activities to security agencies.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
