He was arrested at a hotel in Abuja for falsely presenting himself as the EFCC chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, and other officers of the Commission.
The anti-graft agency said Hudu allegedly obtained N100,000 from a person he convinced that he could ‘handle’ any matter with the Commission.
This was disclosed in a statement posted on the Commission’s website.
The EFCC said the suspect has provided useful information and will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations into his activities.
In another development, Justice S. M. Shuiabu of the Federal High Court, Benin City, Edo State, on Tuesday, February 14, granted bail to 87-Year-old Chief Nosakhare Osadolor Odomore and Obazee Henry.
Odomore and Obazee were arraigned on February 6, 2023, by the Benin Zonal Command of the EFCC on a two-count charge of altering and forgery.
The EFCC, in a statement, said the duo were accused of working together to counterfeit land titles to make the property appear legitimate.
