According to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ilorin Zonal Office, Isiaka impersonated the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Dr Maikanti Baru and the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina among other prominent citizens.
The anti-graft agency said that the suspect along with others, who are still at large allegedly used the names of the senior government officials to scam the South Korean national.
The petitioner had paid over N30million into the suspect’s account as a fee to get the licence.
According to Kim, “I transferred $4,285.071 to the United Bank of Africa, account number 2107575870 in the name of one Jamiu Isiaka, an associate of Mr Shola Adeshina. It is noteworthy that this account particulars have been provided severally (sic) for me to make transfer to.”

He claimed to have bought a vulture, elephant’s skin, elephant’s intestine, skull of a lion, liver of gorilla, among other items for the sacrifice.
