A man identified as Ibrahim Mohammed Maigandi has been arrested after duping a Senator representing Zamfara West, Lawali Hassan Dan Iya, of N1.8 million while impersonating the state police commissioner, Usman Nagogo.
The suspecting senator had called the police to inform them that a man claiming to be Nagogo had demanded a sallah gift from him. This had prompted the police into action.
When the suspect called, the Senator directed his personal assistant to collect the suspect’s account number and transfer N200,000 to him.
