Fake AIG Caught With 11 ATM Cards, 10 Cheque Books Parade In Abuja

A 59-year-old man, Olawale Olatunji, said to be posing as a retired
Assistant Inspector-General of Police at a bank in Kubwa, a satellite
town in the Federal Capital Territory, has been arrested by the police
with 11 Automatic Teller Machine cards and 10 chequebooks of different
banks found on him.

Parading the suspect before newsmen at the command’s headquarters in
Abuja on Wednesday December 19th, the FCT Commissioner of Police, Bala
Ciroma, said that Olatunji had posed as an AIG to defraud unsuspecting
members of the public by promising to assist them to get contracts at
the Police Air Wing Department.

“On December 10, 2018, police operatives from the command arrested
Olatunji, who had been parading himself as a retired AIG. The suspect
had under the same pretext defrauded unsuspecting members of the public
by offering to help them secure contracts at the Police Air Wing. In the
course of investigation, fake Police Air Wing receipts, fake contract
documents, 11 ATM cards, 10 chequebooks and letterheads of different
companies were recovered from him as exhibits.”

Olatunji who admitted to owning all the incriminating items found on
him, denied carrying out any fraudulent activities. He demanded that the
police charge him to court immediately. 

“A pastor introduced me to someone as a retired AIG, but I didn’t
defraud anyone. The ATM cards and chequebooks are for my bank accounts,
which were opened for my business with different companies,” he said
