The suspects are accused of exploiting these forged documents to unlawfully solicit funds from unsuspecting individuals.
In a statement released on Monday, EFCC spokesman Wilson Uwujaren provided details of the arrest, which occurred on August 24, 2023. The suspects have been identified as Yakubu Mohammed, Bashir Ladan, Adamu Ibrahim, Steven Anom, and Mohammed Bello.
According to the EFCC, the suspects purportedly collaborated to fabricate imitation employment and recommendation letters, utilizing the falsified letterheads, and charging fees from unsuspecting victims.
As the investigation continues, the anti-graft agency has indicated that the arrested individuals will face legal proceedings in due course. Once the inquiry concludes, they will be brought before a court of law to answer for their alleged involvement in this fraudulent activity.
