Upon the receipt of the intel on the activities of the defendant, undercover operatives pretending to be interested in the fraudulent scheme presented marked Ten Thousand Naira (N10,000) each to the fraudsters. They were subsequently arrested.
Investigation by the Commission after the defendant was arrested alongside other suspects at Kembu Plaza, along Biu Road, revealed that Lawan and others had used the Hausa/Fulani Progressive Development Association and two other unregistered companies - Creative Global Technology and Wul Nigeria Limited - to perpetrate their nefarious act.
Tony Elumelu Foundation also confirmed that neither the defendant nor his accomplices had any connection with it as his name was not found in the Foundation’s Alumni database.
