The
Special Fraud Unit of the Force CID of Nigeria Police has arrested 40 suspects
alleged to have committed various offences ranging from forging statement of
accounts, faking of travelling documents etc.,
According
to SFU spokesperson, Ngozi Isintume-Agu, the arrest of the suspects was made
possible by a written request received from the Consulate General of Italy in
Lagos to carry out all needed investigations on the 40 suspects who submitted
fake and forged documents to Italian Embassy in a bid to travel out of the
country.
Isintume-Agu
added: “It has now become rampant for scrupulous Nigerians to desire travelling
out of the country through dubious means. In the course of their attempt to
manipulate records and information, many reputable organizations, financial
institutions and government parastatals’ records are falsified and tampered
with.
“The
Commissioner of Police, Special Fraud Unit stated that the network of crooks
specialized in travel document racketeering have been shattered and will soon
face the wrath of the law in the Court. He advised Nigerians to avoid unscrupulous
elements and follow due process when processing their travelling documents.”
