The officers were returned to their service following strict adherence to the bail procedures of the commission. The commission emphasizes that no one is above the law, and the due process will be observed in concluding the case,” stated Oyewale.
The EFCC had previously revealed that officers of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) were implicated in a security breach. The agency highlighted that the NAF officers were apprehended for attempting to release suspected fraudsters who had been arrested by the EFCC.
Oyewale said, “Operatives of the Kaduna Zonal Command of the EFCC, on Monday, November 13, 2023, arrested five suspects at a residential Inn and Disney Chicken Eatery, Barnawa, Kaduna following credible intelligence about their alleged internet- related fraud activities.
The suspected fraudsters: Favour Itung, Rachael Ande, Zuleiman Haruna, Abubakar Ismaila and Solomon Olobatoke were arrested without incident.
“However, after the sting operation, six military personnel who witnessed the operation at Disney Chicken Eatery, stormed the Kaduna Command and tried to forcefully release the arrested fraud suspects. They were subdued and detained over the security breach.
