The Department of State Services
(DSS) has arrested one Amina Mohammed for allegedly impersonating Rashida
Bello, wife of Kogi governor.
Peter Afunanya, DSS spokesman,
said the woman gained unauthorised entry into the residence of Aisha Buhari,
wife of the president, at the presidential villa.
Afunanya said Mohammed allegedly
defrauded one Alexander Chika Okafor (a.k.a Chicason) of N150 million.
“The woman who is being paraded
has adopted various aliases and used the same false identities to defraud
several unsuspecting persons before she was discovered,” Afunanya said.
“She used the false identity to
evade protocol and scrutiny thus gaining unauthorized access into the villa and
particularly the residence of the first lady and wife of the president, Hajia
Aisha Buhari.
“She took advantage of the fact
that personalities as first ladies, ministers and certain categories of
officials are not taken through rigorous protocol and security checks at the
villa posts.
“Investigation has revealed that
the first lady was away on Lesser Hajj and not in the villa during the period.
“Okafor had complained that he
was fleeced of over N150 million in respect of a court of appeal property in
Lagos which Amina had promised to help him buy through the first lady.
“The property was said to have
been part of those under the presidential implementation committee on lease of
federal government.
“Investigation has shown that
this unholy enterprise is not to the knowledge of the first lady. What Amina
simply did was to use the first lady’s name and office as bait to lure and
defraud her victims.”
In a video obtained by Sahara
Reporters, Mohammed vehemently denied being a fraudster.
Mohammed named Babachir Laval,
former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), and one Moriyatu,
said to be a sister to Aisha Buhari, as her alleged accomplices.
“I cannot be a fraudster, it is
not true. No, I cannot accept,” the suspect said in the video.
“Former SGF, Babachir is
involved, Moriyatu is involved. And this is not fraud. Chicason has been buying
federal government property and he has been doing it and you all know the
directors in the ministry involved will collect bribe before bidding will be
out.”
