A mild drama played out at the Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Monday, June 2nd, when a middle -aged man walked into the office premises and reported himself for the offence of impersonation and obtaining by false pretence, citing the fear of the commission.

A statement by the Commission’s Head,  Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale, in Abuja, said the suspect, Idris Adamu, walked into the office of  the EFCC at about 1300hrs and requested to see the acting Zonal Director,  Deputy Commander of the EFCC, DCE Sa’ad Hanafi Sa’ad.

Adamu said he wanted to confess some hidden truths about the crimes he had committed in the past.

While at the Directors office, he said,” I came to repent of my sins and to confess to the EFCC. In the past, I have obtained the aggregate sum of N9 million through my bank account from different individuals in the guise of offering them employment opportunities in Federal Government agencies which was false. I have changed but I am afraid of the EFCC.”

The spokesperson said Sa’ad, having listened to his confession, thanked him for speaking to the EFCC and directed that the self-confessed suspect be taken to the investigation department for a thorough investigation of the case.
